Tucked among the rolling hills of beautiful Litchfield, Connecticut is the studio and gallery of Troy Brook Visions, Inc., Makers of Fine Furniture. Master Artisan Daniel Gugnoni designs and creates exquisite custom handcrafted fine art furniture.
Artist’s Statement
My furniture is a continuation of a journey that began in a sculpture studio while working towards my undergraduate degree. While I continue to explore the relationship of form and function and how it melds with my artistic vision, I realize this journey has ultimately shaped each piece of functional art I create. For almost thirty years my work has been forged by the inspiration I find in what nature supplies.
The marriage of the right board found at the right time guides the creation of each piece. My designs emphasize pure forms and clean lines allowing each tree to tell its own story. By letting the wood speak, I craft visually stunning pieces of art furniture. I consider every board a gift from nature, not to be squandered, and feel a responsibility to use the material in the best way possible.
When you collect a piece of art furniture from Troy Brook Visions you will know that it has been designed and crafted exclusively by Daniel and Barbara. We create only one-of-a-kind and custom pieces in our red barn studio set in the historic Litchfield Hills. As we glance out the windows of our country barn, we are inspired to make every piece as unique as one of Mother’s creations. Never manufacturing product, always creating art.
We encourage you to browse the Furniture Gallery to see some of Troy Brook Visions’ work, and we invite you to visit our gallery and studio. Nothing replaces the sensual experience of touching the sleek, hand-rubbed surfaces, the comfort of our chairs and the solid, smooth glide of a well-fitted drawer. We hope to see you soon!
