From bird houses to tree houses, Matt has been crafting with wood since he was a boy growing up in
Vermont . With $400 dollars and a backpack, Matt headed to California 5 days after receiving his
high-school diploma. At the age of 18, Matt was introduced to Dave Hannaford, an accomplished
furniture and lamp maker. Matt says that Dave not only taught him the basics of fine furniture making
but more importantly the philosophies of the fine furniture craft.

As an apprentice, from 1996-1999 Matt was mentored by two of the countries top furniture makers.
After completing his apprenticeship, Matt worked with Berkeley Mills, a world renowned manufacturer
of high end furniture.

"When I first moved to California in 1996 I was introduced to Andreas Strieve, the owner of Gallery M, a
fine furniture gallery in Half Moon Bay." Matt's work continues to be represented by Gallery M.
Matt and his family live and work in Littelton Colorado, a suburb of Denver. Matt builds for clients
thoughout the country including Califronia, Colorado, Oregon, Washington, Nevada, Wyoming,
Vermont, New Hamshire, Massachusetts, New York, New Jersey, and Washington D.C.
Matt's furniture designs are influenced by a collaboration of many styles and ideas. But his signature
is a modern Asian style.
Stark Custom Furniture specializes in custom-built fine furniture, providing both function and aesthetic
value to your home or office. Choose an existing design or allow us to create something new as we bring
your ideas to life.
Building fine furniture bridges the gap between craft and art. When a piece of our furniture is created, a
tradition is born. Not only are you purchasing a chair to sit on, a bed to sleep on, or a cabinet to display
your valuables, but you are investing in an heirloom that will survive generations to come. At Stark Custom
Furniture, we are continuing the American traditions of dedication, hard work and attention to detail.
When you invest in a Stark Original design, you are also making a contribution towards fighting global
warming. Rather than purchase a mass-produced, inexpensive piece of furniture that will be added to your
local landfill in the coming years, you continue to invest in the future of our planet Earth. Not only will your
Stark Original last through generations, but with every purchase from Stark Custom Furniture, new trees
are planted in your name through American Forest's Global Releaf project. You will receive a certificate from
American Forests along with your purchase receipt. Please visit http://www.americanforests.org for more
information.


If you would like to commission a piece, please contact me by phone or email. My usual lead time is 3-6
months, depending on current work load. If you have a unique piece in mind or have particular
requirements, I would be happy to create shop drawings of a design that suits your needs. Unless other
arrangements are made, I will personally hand deliver, set up and install all pieces within Colorado,
California and the Pacific Northwest.
