WOOD WORKS FOR HIM
By Beth Ashley

Quotes:

“Craig Collins makes beautiful pieces that blend form with functionality…A repeated refrain runs through (clients’) comments on his work: ‘The table (or bed or desk or cabinet) he made for me is a work of art.’ …Collins uses strikingly beautiful and unusual wood…Collins’s designs frequently result from close collaboration with his clients.”

Casey Ellis, “Furniture as Art,” San Francisco Chronicle 1

“(His) 30-inch-high table combines cherry with stainless steel rods in an interesting weaving technique. Despite the complexity of executing this design, the overall effect is one of striking simplicity.”

Casey Ellis, “A Century of Good Design,” San Francisco Chronicle 2

“Many of his pieces incorporate rich solid-tone woods with elegantly patterned ones like lacewood and fiddleback maple.”

Beth Ashley, “Wood works for him,” Marin Independent Journal 3

“You want a table that you’ll pass down to your kids, who will pass it down to their grandkids…In Valley Ford, in a barn that used to be an antique shop, you can find two very friendly, easygoing guys who are making amazing custom built objects for the home.”
