Elizabeth Bly Wolff & James Nagel
We are a husband and wife team who collaborate in the design and fabrication of fine furniture and objects. Our designs are driven by form, function, and a love of materials. We filter historical references through a contemporary lens, making objects to live with and to use. We build one of a kind and commissioned pieces and welcome client participation in the design process.
In 1997 we built the Wolff and Nagel workshop on Canaan Road. In our fully equipped shop we design and build furniture and cabinetry for local and regional clients. We have shown our work independently, and in collaboration.
