"I enjoy the challenges of creating custom furniture for a client that addresses their needs perfectly. My hours spent carving and creating sculptures allow me to explore original designs and forms. I'm obsessed with high quality joinery and believe that fine, elegant lines should never compromise structure. I expect every piece of furniture that I make to last a lifetime." - Tom Lederer

Tom Lederer has been building fine furniture for over forty years. He formed Lederer Studio in 1978 after four years as an apprentice with Alan Rockwell and several years of working for notable Designer/Craftsman Phillip Lloyd Powell. Lederer is also highly skilled in classical wood carving techniques after studying the practice with Master Carver Ian Agrell and renowned wood sculptor Ian Norbury.

Tom's approach is timeless. His designs are a synthesis of enduring traditional styles including Art Deco, Art Nouveau and Arts and Crafts. Tom believes that each piece of furniture should be unique to its maker while remaining steeped in long standing furniture traditions and enduring high-quality craftsmanship.
