"Gracie and her Sisters": Girls Made Good
Design Art maker David Savage 59 of Devon England announces the arrival of "Gracie and her Sisters" sexy curvacious dining chair shown here made in solid English Walnut. Handmade at Rowden Farm Workshops in Devon England this is another piece that confirms the world wide reputation of Rowden as a centre of European woodworking excellance. Quality in design and workmanship seems to be at the heart everything that happens at Rowden. " Dont confuse accuracy achieved by robots with genuine quality" said Rowdens director of Design Art David Savage. "Real quality is about human achievement, its about skill and time spent making something worth while. Machines can make anything so easily, they achieve perfection by routine. Deadflat, spraygun shiney, death by robot. This is OK, but all this mechanical perfection can make us poor humans feel lousy, inadequate. The human being is not that perfect, we screw up all the time. This is why handmade is so valuable to us. In it we see evidence of skilled hands in pursuit of excellance . Seeing genuine artists creating and resolving surfaces, knowing they can only be so good, shooting for the stars but knowing their work cannot be absolutely perfect is uplifting to us. It seems to confirm to us our humanity. And that for me is the defining nature of a work of Art"
"At Rowden we make, we do not manufacture. "Gracie and her Sisters" are the latest in a series of unique pieces made for my private clients. You cannot just buy for any amount of money works like Gracie at least not from me. Getting a piece designed and made involves our clients in time and effort and commitment to having a genuine work of art made for their home".
All of us identify ourselves to the outside world with the things we own, with the things we surround ourselves with. As well as showing ourselves in a certain light we can at the same time gain great pleasure from the process, the discussions, the drawings the comissioning and finally owning your own unique piece of design art furniture.
"Gracie and her Sisters" weave and undulate along the side of a dining table that will be first seen at some distance. The walls are glass and the floors white marble . These are the only organic fixed elements within the space. They give it humanity help us to understand who we are, and make us smile.
