A Message from Co-Founder  & Furniture Designer Sherwood Hamill:
Sherwood Wood Shop Studio Sustainable Hardwood Fine Furniture

 

“What an opportunity this has been!

Somehow, a dream that began in the 1990s has enabled us tocreate a company that we could design for, while still being ableto live in Maine. From the beginning, we have evolved andexpanded our furniture and rug designs to where they are today.

Where else could we have done this? Certainly not without thesupport of our customers, friends, family and team. Although we see continued demand for high-end, hand crafted modern furniture, providing it at a high level has become increasingly difficult.

After considering many options, we havemade the decision to discontinue the furniture offering at angela adams with production ending in 2023.

Looking ahead, I get excited about the opportunity to evolve as a designer through new product lines and creative projects. “

When I moved to Portland in 1993, a friend suggested I meet a local furniture designer, SherwoodHamill. We agreed to meet at a local bar and each of us would bring our sketch books to share whatwe were working on and what our dreams for the future were. It wasn’t a date so much as a meeting oftwo creative people that were at the beginning of their careers, mapping out a path for the future. Wesat for hours flipping through the pages of our sketchbooks asking one another questions and sharing ideas behind the concepts we sketched and doodled – his in pencil, mine in black sharpie.That snowy winter night many years ago, was the beginning of a dream that we continue to nurtureand explore, evolving with the world around us.After 25 years of making this furniture dream a reality, we have made the difficult decision to close thischapter to free up focus and creativity for other projects. Our furniture program has been an integralpart of the foundation and history of angela adams and has kept the bar high for all of our handcraftedproducts and for our company as a whole. We could not have kept this all going without the talented furniture makers that created our pieces for many years. Marcus Goforth has single handedly made countless pieces of furniture for many years and has played a critical role in our company not only as a master furniture maker but supporting the team in every way possible.Our sincere appreciation and humble gratitude to all of our furniture collectors and customers that have kept us powered up in the shop and on this journey. Enjoy your pieces and know they were made with love and fueled by dream.
