Marc Richardson is a gifted craftsman who designs and build elegant, functional, limited-edition furniture. His work is in the hands of discriminating private and corporate collectors in Canada, the United States, Japan, France, Holland, Greece and Australia, collectors who appreciate the difference between hand-crafted pieces and machine-made manufactured furniture.


For some twenty years now, Marc Richardson has been creating individual pieces and groupings to meet each client’s specific needs. Whether for your home, office, or boardroom, his work will illustrate your refinement, elicit admiration from your visitors, and be a definitive statement in the environment you have created around you.

His work is influenced by years spent in Japan, by Frank Lloyd Wright and by the American Arts &Crafts movement. Each piece is created to meet both functional needs and sensory pleasures – to please the eye, to please the touch, and to provide pleasure and comfort to the human form. Made of solid domestic and exotic woods, they are built to last, and will preserve their beauty for generations to come.

My pleasure is in selecting the wood which will best reflect the clients’ taste and needs. »
