Autor/-in: Michael Coffey

Born and raised in New York City, Michael Coffey began his professional life as a social worker, but by 1972 he was pursuing artmaking full-time. Influenced by the European Art Nouveau and 20th century craftsman studio furniture, in 1978 he produced and presented the Aphrodite Rocking Chair, a curved piece of wood, which solidified his reputation among the new generation of American furniture makers. Coffey continues to work in his home studio in West Hatfield, Massachusetts. This is his first book.
