Montrose Stool with back in painted Poplar

Geoff McKonly Furniture is a studio in Southampton, Massachusetts designing and producing collection pieces as well as custom furniture since 2014. Each work Geoff creates is a composition of color, shape, and form that exists to enhance your life as well as provide a function. Geoff’s design and craft principles draw heavily on his training in fine art photography, creating furniture as he would compose a photograph, holding your interest and guiding your eye throughout a design. Similarly, from his two decades of experience building wooden boats, Geoff embraces the use of curvature and trusting his trained eye as he builds furniture. In his pieces, Geoff strives for the interweaving of balance and connection. Balance is the thickness of the back of a chair as it becomes the thinness of a leg, or the carved handle that blends into the edge of a curved door. Connection is the grain of the wood and its natural defects, reminiscent of both luxury and nature. Tying it together are bold riffs on traditional joinery, which give a piece its strength and durability, enabling it to be passed down through many generations.
