The custom bench to resemble, Nequasset, is nearly complete (the fabric is still being decided upon – it needs to coordinate with clients existing outdoor pieces) and our little guy loves to ‘help’ Michael with his work … enjoy!

Trendesign Magazine, Jordan

November 8, 2011

Trendesign is an architectural, design and decor magazine in Jordan. The associate editor, Matthew Hamilton, contacted us a few months ago to ask for an interview – we happily obliged… the result is a beautifully written and elegantly formatted article…to learn more about Trendesign Magazine, visit their Facebook page. http://www.facebook.com/trendesignmag

As written by Matthew, “Perhaps a key factor to the success of Fleming’s business is the collaboration with his wife, Jennifer. “Jennifer is responsible for the business end of things,” he [Fleming] explains, and “I collect and haul the wood, design then build each piece of furniture.” For the couple, ecology, aesthetics and a proper scale of the business stem from one basic mission, summarised in a mindfulness of choices.” Jennifer and I have always been conscious of our choices, and how those choices affect not only ourselves but the world around us – being aware is a way of life for us, and for our business.” In other words, being ‘green’ is not so much a trend for Michael Fleming Designs Adrift; it is a way of life, humbly – and beautifully – executed.”

 

Thank you Trendesign and Matthew Hamilton.
