Fern Handcrafted was one of our first journal entries when we launched the Hudson Woods blog. It has been over a year since and many exciting things have transpired. We wanted to share some new items in the Fern shop as well as highlight specific items we selected to furnish the Hudson Woods model house.

For those of you unfamiliar, Fern makes hand-crafted furniture. Originally founded in Brooklyn, NY by Jason Roskey and Maggie Goudsmit in 2009, they moved two years later to the Hudson Valley, where the long-standing furniture making tradition has become a source of inspiration, and has increasingly become a burgeoning source of contemporary design. The Hudson Valley allows Fern access to some of the country’s finest hardwoods and a growing creative community. Their 1,000-square-foot space at 243 Warren Street in Hudson, N.Y. displays Fern’s furniture and accessories alongside lighting from Workstead and weavings by New Friends.
