Meet the Artisans:
Michael Wolniewicz (pronounced wool-nev-itch) received a degree in Furniture Design with a minor in Pottery from Buffalo State University in 1989.
Michael's work ethic and standards exceed most peoples expectations. His love for the craft and value of a "job well done" are indicative of "old world values" that he picked up from his Uncle Ray (a woodworker) and his father Clem (a farmer and no-nonsense kinda guy).
His interest in the Arts and Crafts movement and specifically Greene and Greene was fueled when he moved to Virginia and began working for Hardwood Artisans. There, he designed and built custom furniture, designed custom hardware used for the Urban Line and worked on developing the Waterfall Line. Prior to this, Michael worked in antique furniture restoration while exploring his own design voice.
His passionate appreciation of the works of Roycroft, Nakashima, Frank Lloyd Wright and Sam Maloof have also been the base of inspiration for his work. Bringing an unpretentious fresh sophistication to Bungalow, Art's and Crafts and Asian Contemporary design Michael designs only one-of-a-kind pieces that reflect his client's discriminating tastes.
Michael is also a professional speaker. He is a member of the National Association of Speakers in Washington DC and served as president for three years for the Shenandoah Royal Orators Toastmasters club. though his message is simple, his enthusiasm in contagious; Never give up on your dreams!
Scott Weagle - Master Furniture Craftsman - Scott has been building fine furniture for 20 years. His attention to detail and unsurpassed quality are indicative of what makes our furniture and our company so successful, and we are so grateful to have him with us!
