In 1977, partners Jim Lewis & Marianne Briggs, along with a small group of skilled artists and master woodworkers, founded Icarus Furniture. They dedicated the enterprise to the building of high quality, hand-made furniture and the development of working artists. Some thirty years later, Icarus Furniture has become a nationally recognized source for the design and manufacture of limited edition fine furniture for the home and public spaces. Moreover, Icarus Furniture continues its role in the artistic community as a nexus for new & emerging artists and advanced design, collaborating on works for theater, dance & new media.
