Musical Feast: The Integrity of the Tree

Coming up in September, Musical Feasts offers an event that embodies everything Asheville – unique craftsmanship, traditional local cuisine, ecological awareness and a classy informality.

Internationally acclaimed furniture designer, Brian Boggs, designs and builds fine wood furniture, continuing a thirty-five-year career. He and his team handcraft heirloom-quality furniture – one piece at a time – with a focus on design, craftsmanship and sustainability. According to Brian, “I design furniture with an intention to preserve a tree’s integrity in honor of human comfort that will be celebrated for generations.” A journeyman philosopher of the first order!

Lunch will be a Southern-style picnic in Carrier Park. Your hosts plan a lunch of boneless chicken wings, a fruit and berry tray, potato salad, tomato and cucumber salad, deviled eggs, chicken salad croissants, iced tea and lemonade. Yum…

After lunch watch Brian and his team at work and experience original craftsmanship with a human touch. Find a sense of permanence rather than the standard uniformity of today’s production line. Your feelings about furniture will never be the same and you will leave profoundly impressed.
