Washington design artist and woodworker Wayne Cordrey likes color. He likes it a lot. He also likes to design and build furniture.
Cordrey produces his work as Sticks and Stones Studio and greets each spring with a batch of colorful chairs. During the rest of the year, he builds a variety of furniture pieces including cabinets, chairs, tables, and accent pieces.
His ‘Fun, Funky, Functional’ furniture has been delighting customers since 1998 and has been shipped from his Washington state home in the Columbia River Gorge to places as far away as Washington D.C., Alaska and Hawaii.
