Since 1992, Ernest Hershberger of Homestead Furniture has focused on creating heirloom-quality furniture and challenging the notion that Amish craftsmanship can’t also be stylish. However stylish and unique his furniture might be, Hershberger never imagined that it would catch the attention of The Metropolitan Museum of Art. In 2019, after a worldwide search, the New York museum asked Abner Henry, Homestead’s luxury sister company, to collaborate on a distinguished home collection. The seven resulting pieces are inspired by paintings within the Met’s collection, some of which have not been displayed in decades. "I had always dreamed that someday in my career I would build something very, very special,” says Hershberger. “We sought with each piece to do something that had never been done before, and we learned that this kind of experimentation requires a lot of grace." 🖊️ Christina Rufo 📸 Courtesy homesteadfurniture.oh #cleveland #clevelandohio #amishcountry #heirloomfurniture #...
