Collette Collins – Furniture Designer and Fabricator

Collette Collins has been designing and building one-of-a-kind furniture and built-ins for 25 years. Today, she is an ADEX 2006 Platinum and ADEX 2007 Gold & Silver Award Winner and has created a wide range of customized pieces, from furniture to complete kitchens, bathrooms, store fixtures and displays.

In keeping with her commitment to environmental sustainability, Collette ensures that no scrap of material goes unused. She often uses salvaged materials in her work, recycles excess bits of wood or fabric from one piece to another, and almost always uses a plywood core to save the exotic materials for the exterior.

“I find inspiration in Japanese joinery, Japanese and Chinese architecture, Danish Modern and Memphis Design.” – Collette Collins
