About G.F.C.
A New Chapter
After years of crafting furniture amid the windswept beauty of Wellington, New Zealand, 2024 marked a profound transition as we set down our roots in Geyserville, California—a place that captured our hearts from the moment we arrived.
The transition from island to mainland, from southern hemisphere to northern, might seem vast. Yet in this pocket of Sonoma County, we discovered something instantly familiar: a community that values authenticity, craftsmanship, and the patient artistry of working with wood.
Geyserville welcomed us with open arms—a tapestry of vintners, artists, and craftspeople who understand that true quality emerges not from haste, but from devotion to one's craft. Here, among the heritage vineyards and under the shade of centuries-old oak trees, we found kindred spirits who recognize the poetry in grain patterns and the story told by every growth ring.
The landscape itself speaks to us daily. The plentiful California oak and walnut trees that punctuate these hills now find new expression through our hands. There is something profoundly meaningful about creating furniture from timber grown in the very soil where we now live—a connection between land, maker, and home that feels almost sacred.
While our techniques and commitment to excellence remain unchanged, the character of our work has been subtly transformed by this place. Perhaps it's the quality of light filtering through our workshop windows, or the rhythm of seasons in wine country, but our designs now carry whispers of Sonoma's timeless elegance.
We will forever cherish our New Zealand heritage—it formed the foundation of who we are as craftspeople and continues to influence our approach. But as Geyserville Furniture Company, we embrace this new chapter with boundless enthusiasm. We are not just building furniture; we are building a legacy intertwined with this remarkable community.
To our clients, whose discerning eye and appreciation for fine craftsmanship inspire us daily: thank you for joining us on this journey. Each piece that leaves our workshop carries not only our signature but also the spirit of this special corner of California—a place we are proud to call home.
From Wellington to wine country, our passion remains unchanged: creating furniture that honors the beauty of natural materials, the integrity of traditional craftsmanship, and the joy of living with objects made to last generations.
