When Furniture Combines Art and Storytelling...

A special piece of furniture can add an unexpected beauty to your home while telling a warm and welcoming story. New Mexico furniture designer, Emily Henry of Millicent, is a creator of this special kind of furniture. 

Emily's furniture is artistic and natural while utilizing unique narrative carvings to tell a story to everyone who lays eyes on it. What I like most about Millicent's furniture designs is that each piece invokes a fine art feel along with a modern nod to nature.  With every piece being a work of art in itself, Millicent's furniture cannot help but capture your attention.

When art and storytelling combine with design, the results are truly magical.  Millicent's furniture designs are absolutely spectacular and truly unique. It's furniture with soul. I look forward to seeing what whimsical narratives are shared in Emily Henry's future furniture creations.
