Scott E. Armstrong
Designer and Craftsman.
My work is shaped by 35 years of artistic and creative learning, living
and working. Growing up in northern Wyoming nurtured my independent
spirit and love of natural materials. Getting my Bachelors of Fine Arts in
Industrial Design from the Kansas City Art Institute taught me to direct my
creativity, showed me the value of the decorative arts, and the beauty of
modern design. Working eight years as a Senior Product Designer in the
Furniture Industry gave me an education in production and a respect for
traditional forms and ornamentation. For the past 15 years I have been
running my own studio and drawing on this varied background to create
graceful, animated, one of a kind, limited production, and commissioned
pieces of Fine Cabinetry and Furniture. I use solid woods for strength and
figured veneers for their rare beauty and ecological benefits then
add a touch of inlay for fun.
