I’ve been designing and building things for as long as I can remember. I really started getting into building furniture in my 30’s and realized it’s something I’m truly passionate about. At 38 I began attending the Art Institute of California at Orange County studying Industrial Design with an emphasis in furniture design.
Award-winning and globally-acclaimed designer, Joey Ruiter pushes through the boundaries of the norm to transform everyday objects into products that are just as useful as they are jaw-dropping.
I’ve been working around furniture since I was 16. from working in the woodshop doing detail work on fine art furniture, to mass production office furniture, to partnering with Sketch & Hewn.
Antique River Logs® river-reclaimed wood is an exquisite, environmentally sustainable, and exclusive product with an extraordinary story. Our business model is dedicated to an atmosphere of relationship over profit, commitment over convenience, and the long view of sustainability over immediate gains.
