Bill Faber's furniture design career has spanned nearly 40 years. He has designed the past 20 wood collections for Century Furniture and spent the prior decade as Director of Design at Henredon. He is a graduate of the Kendall School of Design in Grand Rapids, MI. He resides in Lenoir, NC with his wife Patty.
Bill has won many design awards, including one for best overall collection for the development of the Matilda Bay group for Century Furniture. This is comparable to winning the Oscar for best picture in the Furniture industry. Mr. Faber's extraordinary talent is the ability to consistently design commercially successful 60 piece collections of bedrooms, dining rooms and occasional pieces. He has the same flair for a diminutive lamp table as a commanding armoire. He is renown for his range, having the ability to design everything from very traditional collections, to highly contemporary groups including all of the hardware (or jewelry as he calls it) for each piece. He is probably best known for his interpretation of "casual elegance", which adapts classic designs and shapes, to the scale and functionality required in today's homes; and the right amount of distressing on incredibly complex low sheen finishes to give each piece the look of a well loved antique. |
