Generations of Craftsmanship
The Ruppel Design Group, founded in 1988, consists of the father/son
team of Terry and Ross Ruppel.
To the Ruppels, designing and building
is a family tradition. Their work focuses on the beauty of select
native hardwoods and traditional joinery and finishing techniques. The
patina and character of each wood are highlighted whenever possible,
and each piece is finished by hand-rubbing with a unique oil mixture
developed over time.
The pieces are well designed without sacrificing any functionality.
To the Ruppel Design Group, a perfectly designed piece means the blending of wood
colors, patterns, surfaces, forms, repetition, and rhythms into an
interesting and thought-provoking piece.
