For New Jersey furniture maker/designer Glen Guarino, nature has become his muse to create sculptural works rooted in the physical world. Wood is the symbolic essence of serenity and naturalness. Through space, material and function, Glen’s furniture is a work of art. Like most people, walking in the woods can be a transformational experience. The sunlight pierces through the canopy as the squirrels’ rustle in the leaves. The fresh air cleanses the palette. Standing tall and righteous is a battalion of healthy trees. But it is the trees that lie on the ground that captures Glen’s imagination.
