AMANDA WISE

WISE IS AN ARTISAN AT HEART WITH AN APPRECIATION FOR CRAFTSMANSHIP; WISE EMBRACES THE HAND TO CLOTH EXISTENCE. EACH STYLE IS HIGHLY COMPLEX AND LAYERED; FUSING TEXTURES, TEXTILES AND DECORATIVE FINISHES TO ORIGINATE NEW AND INNOVATIVE DESIGN IDEAS. THE DESIGN AESTHETIC RESPONDS TO THE TENSION BETWEEN CLASSIC AND CONTEMPORARY INFLUENCES, COMBINING THE OLD AND NEW TO BRING AN ELEMENT OF INTRIGUE TO THE CONSTRUCTION PROCESS THAT ELEVATES THE OUTCOME TO ACHIEVE A DISTINCTIVE EDGE.
