Fossil Faux Studios, is a cutting-edge San Francisco furniture/accessory design and production company that uses resin and recycled computer components to produce their popular bits® and Relica™ product lines that are garnering the attention of the some of the hottest techno firms/dot.coms, architects, interior designers, art galleries, and retail stores in the Bay Area and beyond. Based in San Francisco, Fossil Faux Studios was established by artist/designer Marcia Stuermer to provide unique, thematic art applications for contemporary living. Whether it be in her unique, sophisticated custom works of furniture-occasional and conference tables, desks, screens, benches, countertops, etc.; her imaginative custom architectural design applications such as panel inserts, partition walls, drop ceilings, handrails, and floor inserts; or her dynamic, interactive sculpture installations, Stuermer manipulates the conceptual duality of nature and technology into a delicately frozen animation with her exquisite, translucent creations. Stuermer's background includes a diverse art education from Cooper School of Art, The Cleveland Institute of Art, and her sculpture degree from The Kansas City Art Institute with a history of artistic accomplishments spanning multi-media performances, installations, and custom commissions. She has exhibited work in art galleries, design shows, and public venues nationwide and has created custom pieces for numerous high tech corporations such as Lotus Development and Intel. In addition to her ongoing designs with her furniture company, which was seen at the 2001 International Contemporary Furniture Fair in NYC, she is currently working on several private commissions, as well as custom work for a "Library of the Future" and an interactive multi-panel resin installation with fiber optic lighting and audio elements-both in Seattle, WA. A conceptual undercurrent of the delicate relationship between Nature and Technology in our world is present in the expanding Fossil Faux collection of work. This duality presented through the sophisticated yet surprising juxtaposition of the future fossils of computer components, is captured in both the "amber-like" resin of the bits® lines and the "rock-like" slabs of the Relica™ line. Since its beginnings, Fossil Faux has focused on providing fun and intelligent functional designs with recycled materials. Being an environmentally conscious company, the majority of materials used in designs are either recycled, or come from sustainable suppliers. Fossil Faux Studios works via a direct designer-to-client relationship to create custom work for a wide spectrum of applications and site installations. The Fossil Faux lines are available directly through the company and through select distributors. Fossil Faux has designed and created unique works for both residential and commercial projects and art venues throughout the States and in Europe. |
