The Mission Furniture Renaissance of the 21st century satisfies a need in people who crave the qualities of simplicity, honesty, and durability in the objects that they choose to surround them.

These qualities come to mind immediately when you see the beautiful pieces crafted at Riverworks Studio. Here, Allan Rutherford creates furniture from  quarter-sawn white oak, red oak, cherry, and walnut - woods that are often carefully selected from sustainable forestry sources - to bring to life his own interpretation of the Mission Furniture style, which is also known as the Arts and Crafts Style.

Among Allan’s Mission Style furniture creations are the Mission Server with Wine Rack, the Mission Style Deacon’s Bench, the Harvey Ellis Bookcase, Mission side tables with marble or tile inlaid tops, the Mission Writing Desk, and more. And if you don’t see exactly what you want, please ask!
