Designing and making furniture is my occupation, but more than that it is my art
form. The majority of my work will exist much longer than me, and speak
to more people. This is why I am so careful about what my designs
express.
I sell directly through my showroom in
Washington, Virginia and via the internet although I am represented in some galleries and often work with design firms. Because these are some of the highest quality, well
designed furniture pieces being crafted in this country today, your dollars buy quality and uniqueness, while providing a valuable American treasure for
future generations.
One of my biggest customers over the years has been "The Inn at little Washington". Today the Inn still serves as a showcase for me by displaying a great deal of fine woodwork and furniture which has come from my shop. If you are not familiar with "the Inn at little Washington" there is a connection to their site on my links page. You will find that a visit to the Inn offers world class food, lodging, and of course an ambiance provided by fine woodworking.
Reviews"By reinterpreting traditional elements - exposed
joinery, hand-planed surfaces and painted designs - Peter Kramer
creates furniture that looks traditional but sets its own contemporary
style."

".....Mr. Kramer has created an extraordinary
collection of reproduction furniture..... He puts his own
interpretation into everything he makes but the realism is there in the
softly glowing finish and the hand planned surfaces....."

"It is this attention to detail, the hand-planing of carefully selected wood, and the instinctive concept of each piece that sets Kramer's furniture in a class of its own."
