Kevin Stark, Vice President of Design at HBF, has been with the company since 1986. In addition to overseeing all of the design development at HBF, both in-house and with independent architects and designers, he is also an award-winning furniture designer in his own right. His Eiffel Occasional Table Series and the Canterbury Seating Series have both won a Gold Award for Best of NeoCon.
Born in upstate New York, Kevin earned a Bachelor's Degree in Fine Arts from the State University College at Brockport, New York, and his master's in arts and sculpture from the University of Wisconsin in 1975. Kevin began his career as a teacher at Syracuse University, while at the same time creating sculptured furniture which he exhibited at museums and galleries in the area, including the Everson Museum in Syracuse, the Munson Williams Proctor Institute in Utica, the Memorial Art Gallery in Rochester, and the Albright-Knox Art Gallery in Buffalo. Eager to learn more about woodworking and furniture-making, Kevin enrolled in the Rochester Institute of Technology, and in 1981, graduated with a Master of Fine Arts in Furniture Design and Woodworking.
The combination of intense study and natural talent serves Kevin well. Before joining HBF as Product Development Manager, he worked at Metropolitan Furniture and Hardwood House. As Vice President of Design at HBF, he is an integral part of The New Tradition and HBF's quest for classic modernism. |
