SERV CE STATION is a Rural American Design company. SERV CE STATION's showroom for furniture and sculpture is located on a rural corridor at the base of the Catskill Mountains in New York. Founded by Jonah Meyer and Tara De Lisio, in a1950's era garage, the small company produces furniture and sculpture designed and built in their Kingston, NY studio. Derived from 15 years as a studio artist the roots of the work are in Meyer's sculpture and illustrations, creating a distinct aesthetic coined as Rural American Design. SERV CE STATION's woodworkers understand the traditions of wood furniture and craftsmanship and the designs express an original, contemporary view of handmade, hand-finished furniture. SERV CE STATION uses select local wood culled from mills that participate in sustainable forestry programs and salvages lumber whenever something special comes along. In acknowledgement of all that is disposable, SERV CE STATION tips its hat to the "old days" when things were made to be handed down; with longevity in mind, their products will remain a part of a collection through time.

Jonah Meyer, Head Designer - distinguished himself as an artist in this region when he moved to the Catskills after graduating from Rhode Island School of Design. He has worked continuously as a painter and sculptor from 1993 to the present. Meyer utilized the shapes within the forest in developing his signature twig furniture, found int he collections of furniture collectors and home owners across the country and shown at ABC Home and Carpet in the spring of 2007. This first series of "art-furniture" led to publication in a variety of art and home design magazines, during the 10 years in which he worked in this style. His work reveals a love of materials, a theme of exploration and an identifiable vocabulary of shapes. A return to painting and the beginning of his large, sculptural wood constructions and his current furniture occurred with the move of his studio to Kingston, NY where he still works. His work may also be seen at: Cog and Pearl, Brooklyn, NY, Elena Zang Gallery, Woodstock, NY, Caleb Meyer Studio, Germantown, PA, Earnest Sewn, New York, NY, and on his website www.jonahmeyer.com. Opening a showroom has afforded Meyer's collectors continuous access to his work and for new clients to discover his work.
