featured designer…david sipi
one of the coolest benefits of running napa farmhouse 1885™ is the opportunity to meet really amazing artists and craftspeople….david sipi matches that description perfectly. i met david through a friend of a friend, and immediately knew we had to carry and showcase his beautiful furniture collection.
david is a native californian..was born in san francisco….raised in the napa valley..and currently lives in a fantastic, remodeled (by david of course) home in vallejo. david has always worked in creative fields..was a gourmet chef for many years..and worked at some of the best restaurants in northern california and santa fe, new mexico. eighteen years into this “first” career, david developed a debilitating industrial disability (bilateral carpal tunnel syndrome)..and..7 surgeries & 12 procedures later…david’s days as a professional chef were over…he just could not perform the rapid repetitive motion required from a top chef…
in my experience, truly creative people find other outlets for their talent and david is no exception. while in the midst of his home’s remodel, he built a table from some of the scraps of wood torn down from the property..he loved the look of the table and was inspired to reuse materials otherwise headed for the landfill. david discovered that the slow, thoughtful work required to beautifully craft furniture was perfect for his injury…allowed the muscles and joints of his hands to be used…without the stress and overwork other tasks required… he also discovered a passion for finding eco-friendly solutions for salvaged items and 100% of his collection is handcrafted using reused, recycled and/or repurposed materials..how perfect is that for napa farmhouse 1885™?
