Biography

Lee Schuette takes familiar household items such as chairs, mirrors, lamps, and kitchenware and transforms them into beautiful objects of art. He studied industrial design at Rhode Island School of Design and became interested in the history of furniture. His whimsical sculptures retain elements of antique furniture and are always functional, because Schuette enjoys creating art that “serves a real purpose.”
