Maker of Infill Planes, Project Plane Irons, and Lever Cap Assemblies

Since 1983, I have been intensely focused on designing and producing the finest chairs I can possibly build. I am always reevaluating my work and looking for ways to improve a detail, a joint, or the comfort of the back.

My pieces are intended to harmonize with your environment, as well as with our environment. I use native, sustainably harvested cherry and pure, unadulterated linseed oil. No plywood, particle board or toxic chemicals. In the long run and most important, a well-designed, well-built piece of furniture that lasts 100 years is always preferable to one that can be bought at one quarter the price but must be replaced every ten years.

For the past 19 years, I've taught a variety of workshops on fine woodworking at craft centers, schools and universities all over the country. I've hope to pass on the skills, philosophy, and perhaps, some of the inspiration I acquired while studying with James Krenov at the College of the Redwoods.

I find that every chair takes my best effort and attention to detail. Use of the right woods and joinery leads to a wonderfully light, strong, and resilient structure. Pine or basswood seats are carved deep for comfort. Legs and backs are split from green hardwood following the grain for strength, then shaved, steam bent, or turned to final form. The usual finish is milk paint with Danish oil or shellac. I also make natural chairs of butternut, cherry, and oak.

Wonderful furniture carved by hand one piece at a time

Livio De Marchi was born in Venezia where, still a child, he worked on ornamental sculpture in the Venetian tradition in the workshop of a crafting and in the meantime he studied art and drawing at the “Accademia di Belle Arti” in Venice. His activity starts there, displaying at once an astounding skill in moulding materials. The material has been transformed by him with ironical sensitivity that brought him to create sculptures that keep perfection of detail as well spontaneity and essence. During his artistic evolution he worked first in marble, then bronze, and eventually in wood. But wood has always been his favourite material because it gives him a vitality which other materials do not. After opening his own studio, Livio De Marchi allowed his fantasy to run free, declaring his way of being, his interior world. After a deep inner evolution his ironical ability to “see” life got the upper hand in letting him carve this kind of sculpture.
