"The Shakers inspire me with their simplicity. I think too many things designed and built are not made with the same level of intention that the Shakers gave to their furniture. There is something calming about Shaker furniture. Some of the best contemporary designs are aiming at that same simplicity. I wouldn’t say that I’m 'Shaker Influenced'; however, I admire and strive for that honesty in my furniture designs." Photo 9 of 9 in Laura Desk by Phloem Studio by Aaron Britt
