We were pleased to learn recently that Jonah Meyer and Tara de Lisio, former owners of Serv ce Station, have collaborated with a group of artisans from the Catskills to form Sawkille Co. The venture includes Josh Vogel, a designer, sculptor, and co-founder of BDDW, and collaborators Mathew and Stuart Verilli of Prandoni Fabrication & Design. The group has coined the term Rural American Design to describe their approach, which "draws from the heritage in the Hudson Valley of people creating and working to build a life around what's meaningful."
The Sawkille Co. showroom opened in Rhinebeck in July, and, in addition to furniture, also showcases art, sculpture, and handiworks. Each piece is custom made in a selection of woods; prices are available upon request. Go to Sawkille Co. for more information.
