Combining function and art is my challenge, surrounding ourselves with mass produced mediocrity slowly erodes our spirit

Cecil Ross

Artist / Craftsman

Cecil RossA life long dedication to designing and building "things" as diverse as cruising and racing sailboats, to homes and fine interiors, has culminated in a home and studio here on Bainbridge Island, Washington, producing one of a kind creations for homes, gardens, offices and boats.

Many years traveling and working in diverse cultures has allowed me to create many variations in design and construction. New thoughts and ideas are always embraced. All pieces are handmade and of original design utilizing both traditional and innovative joinery methods. The high degree of finish begs the client to caress the piece and enjoy it to its fullest. 

I work closely with clients to help ensure that the furniture suits its surroundings and that no two pieces are quite alike, often allowing the wood to dictate the design of the piece. A background as a trained draftsman and boat designer lends originality and professionalism in the designs that reflect this diversity.

The sourcing of wood is especially dear to my heart, using sustainable harvested lumber wherever possible. Each piece will inevitably have some history to its beginning, it is signed and dated.
