Since he was a little boy, Forrest Cramer has always been an artist. He was drawing recognizable profiles and pencil-shading landscapes at an age when most of us were working on stick-figures, and in his late teens he had the opportunity to apprentice with a local violin-maker. He wasn’t ready yet to make it his lifetime craft, landed a role in antique furniture restoration - and later - as his skills improved - reproduction.
When Forrest started his business, he did a lot of different things. Custom and semi-custom cabinetry, tables and art shelves, interior design elements - he could figure out how to do it. And sometimes, he figured out how to make enough margin on it to be profitable. But his exacting craftsmanship and urge for distinctive design made it tough to compete in the volume production market, and he’s been shifting his business more and more toward the custom and heirloom quality furniture market, and in 2024 fully emerged as Forrest Cramer - Luxury Furniture Artist.
And - he’s a really interesting guy. Many children, simple tastes, old-school values. He’s an interesting contrast to his typical client - who might be looking for a signature piece for their 3rd home 6,000 sq. ft. “cabin” in the foothills outside Aspen. He’s the best and only luxury furniture artist I know, I dig him a lot and you will too - so please enjoy my conversation with Forrest Cramer.
