Abstract:

Although Hurricane Fran brought widespread destruction to the Triangle in 1996, it also brought a wood supply to furniture makers. For example, Jamie Smith and Stefan van Staveren create functional furniture out of fallen trees, some over two hundred years old. Other material they use comes from downed buildings, such as a 19th-century tobacco barn.
