Kevin Rodel has been making custom furniture in Maine since 1979, when he joined the small crew of woodworkers at the Thos. Moser Company. Since 1986 he has run his own shop, focusing at first on furniture inspired by American Arts and Crafts pieces. Over the years he has expanded his designs to include influences from Europe and Asia, and increasingly personal interpretations of the style. In 2003, he co-wrote Arts & Crafts Furniture: From Classic to Contemporary (The Taunton Press), which traces the international scope of the Arts and Crafts movement.
