BLUE RIDGE SUNSET Settee

This one-of-a-kind upholstered settee transforms a vintage, hand-carved wood frame into a functional landscape inspired by the Blue Ridge Mountains of Western North Carolina. The backrest features a hand-painted sky in vivid hues of gold, coral, and soft violet, evoking the fleeting beauty of sunset over layered mountain ridges. Below, carefully cut and applied reclaimed denim in graduated shades of indigo creates depth and movement, mimicking the atmospheric perspective of distant peaks.

The original scroll arms and warm wood tones frame the composition, grounding the piece in history while contrasting with the contemporary textile artistry. Traditional upholstery techniques, including hand-applied nailhead trim, honor craftsmanship while elevating the work into the realm of collectible art furniture.

 Blending sustainability, storytelling, and design, this piece invites viewers not only to observe the landscape—but to sit within it.
