It all started with a trip to Texas in 1986 from NYC. Where was all the cool cowboy stuff, all things West? It wasn't in San Antonio, nor was it in Dallas, for sure it wasn't in Austin. It wasn't there at all and in fact, they all were very busy being all cosmopolitan. Katherine Snedeker wanted authentic, handcrafted furniture that had a sense of history or artistry for her own Deep Ellum loft in Dallas. Inspired by the Western spirit of can do... whatever it takes...she started making furniture with small artisans to her specifications.
Sustainable… before sustainable was cool.
From her initial involvement in the process of design, it was always about recycling and repurposing architectural artifacts that have that age and patina that cannot be replicated. Her designs also use recycled telephone copper wiring and upcycled woods mixing Spanish mission with the wild, open prairies with monumental mountain strength.
Design
Snedeker pares down her designs to their essence of movement and makes you engage with the visuals from every angle. As a registered Interior Designer and Furniture Conceptualist, Snedeker has drawn upon her sense of "the best of the new West" to bring luxury into the genre, she created her own roughhewn pieces sourcing the finest leathers, that only 5% of the world use, mixed with colossal salvaged timbers and the most organic iron metal in its raw state.
Not a fan of repetition, she can do the wow but not 1000 of anything. Faith Popcorn, the powerhouse trend oracle said the world will create fantasy-theme environments to live in, Snedeker will deliver that dream and be accountable.
