Gelinas Carr Furniture
Joseph and Sandra design and build contemporary studio furniture from their workshop in the Cowichan Valley, located midway between Naniamo and Victoria. Many of the local materials available in the region such as western maple, arbutus and douglas fir figure predominately. They also incorporate other materials in interesting ways; metals, glass, local stone and paper have all found their way into projects.
Their work can be described as a blending of modern simplicity with craftsman's details. Careful attention to line, weight, and proportion is given to each element as well as the whole. They strive to make furniture that is visually interesting and has details that are revealed not all at once, but over time. Each piece's construction is carefully planned and executed to produce furniture of the highest quality.
Joseph and Sandra spend most of their time working on private commissions, and have some work available at a few small galleries on southern Vancouver Island. They welcome visitors to their studio, located on their five acre live/work property just five minutes northwest of Duncan.
