Eugene Stoltzfus Furniture - Democratic Designs...

 As I scoured the isles of the 2011 Architectural Digest Home Design Show at Pier 94 here in New York I stumbled upon  Eugene Stoltzfus a most talented architect that has recently added furniture designer to his title with the launch of his namesake furniture brand.

Initially I spoke with Eugene's lovely, smart and very personable wife Jan which described their furniture as democratic design saying, "how great design should be affordable and accessible".  

Eco Hustler:  I then asked, "Eugene what sparked your interest in designing furniture?"

Eugene Stoltzfus:  "We just wanted minimal, elegant and functional pieces for our new home and after friends saw what we had designed they said, "you should make your furniture available to the public" so here we are with our debut collection at our first tradeshow.
