A true craftsman, David Hurwitz designs and builds contemporary furniture pieces, one at a time at his studio in Vermont, using hand carving along with traditional methods of furniture construction and joinery. His work has been exhibited widely in galleries and museums, and is in public and private collections throughout the U.S. as well as in Canada and Europe. All of David’s furniture is made to order, with custom designs being one of his specialties. Each piece is made using the highest quality materials available, with meticulous attention to detail. When purchasing a David Hurwitz original, you acquire a work of superior craftsmanship, designed and built to last many generations.

David has been doing woodworking since the age of six, and has been a self-employed furniture maker since 1993. He has a BFA (1992) in woodworking and furniture design from the School for American Craftsmen at Rochester Institute of Technology, in Rochester, New York. This was a four-year intensive program, with training that included building pieces entirely with hand tools, in the Danish tradition. He also did a two-year independent study in sculpture during that time that included work in metal casting, concrete casting, welding and mixed media.

David has been the recipient of several awards and honors, and his work has been reviewed recently in articles in The San Diego Union-Tribune, the Palm Beach Post, The Arizona Republic, The Repository (Canton, OH), Tampa Bay Illustrated, and the St. Petersburg Times Floridian.

David’s home and studio are located in Randolph, Vermont. All of his smaller pieces can be shipped easily via UPS. Arrangements can be made for David to deliver larger pieces to locations in the Northeast and mid-Atlantic states, while a reputable transport company specializing in fine furniture can be used for delivery of larger pieces to other loactions.
