Manufacturer

Skram

Founded in 2001, Skram Furniture is based in North Carolina and is known for its beautifully-crafted furniture and lighting designs that combine natural materials – wood, metals, leather, cork, and stone – to create innovative, modern forms. Skram manipulates these materials in both traditional, time-honored ways as well as availing itself of state-of-the-art 21^st century production technologies. Founder and principal designer, A. Jacob Marks, is distinguished for his organic, hand-shaped seating and spare, rectilinear casegoods and tables – unique in their negotiation of proportion, line, and visual weight. Marks notes that “our products are a distillation of the essential; they are a spare negotiation of beauty, utility and durability. With each object, we embark on a measured refinement to find its core, which is then expressed through a graceful coalescence of form, line, proportion and materiality.”

His approach is deeply rooted in the philosophy that argues for the inextricability of good design, extraordinary workmanship, and sustainability. Distinguished for his organic, hand-shaped seating and spare, rectilinear casegoods, and tables - unique in their negotiation of proportion, line and visual weight - Marks' highly sought-after designs have been showcased in a range of residential and commercial spaces throughout the world.
