By collaborating with the distinctive and profound properties of wood, SR is able to craft furniture and accessories that transcend the utilitarian and become collectible art. ABOUT STEFAN: Stefan Rurak faked his own death on the French Riviera, renovated gilded-age hotels in Poland, and was questioned by the FBI over a misunderstood piece of performance art, all long before crafting furniture. It was Rurak’s fascination with Zen Buddhism, and the powerful parallels he found in the act of woodworking, that eventually drove him to apprentice under one of New York City’s most respected custom woodworkers. Stefan Rurak founded SR on the vision that furniture can not only fulfill functional needs but also have the expressive power of fine art. more: fine art pieces as welll as multi-medium furniture and housewares are now available on the site!
