Baxter Low Credenza by Autonomous Furniture

We are designers and craftsmen, disrupting the modern home with dramatically contemporary furnishings, built from the finest wood in the world. This is the mantra of Autonomous Furniture, led by Kirk Van Ludwig, the designer and leader of the contemporary design and build furniture company founded in 2013. As an outdoor adventurer who appreciates the West Coast’s mountains and forests close up, Kirk often draws on the inherent forms and patterns discovered in the wilderness. There is a natural pull for him to want to disrupt contemporary ideas about furniture design by throwing away many of the conventional parameters that have dominated the craft. For him, the ability to work in analogue is a dying art, it’s so much more visceral, and he feels the furniture in the end benefits and gives it soul. A piece waiting to be placed and purposed in your own imagined sanctuary. Our furniture’s origins are rooted by the forests of beautiful British Columbia, we take great care in nurturing the environment in all aspects of our furniture design and manufacturing. At Autonomous, we strive to design and manufacture furniture to benefit the circular economy. The goal is to pass Autonomous Furniture pieces down through generations, rather than discarding to a landfill, with an ability to maintain its pristine condition.
