    Hurricane Relief Resources

    The Furni­ture Society is devas­tated to see our commu­nity of friends, family, and colleagues suffer­ing the profound effects of the hurri­cane. We have put together a list of resources for those who want to support through dona­tions, and resources for those that have been affected and in need. We will contin­u­ally update and share.

Our Mission

To advance the art of furni­ture making by inspir­ing creativ­ity, promot­ing excel­lence, and foster­ing an under­stand­ing of this art and its place in society. 

Our vision is to culti­vate a diverse commu­nity and conver­sa­tion around furni­ture in all its forms.
