Husband and wife team Bryce and Kerry Moore developed Context Furniture based on inspiration from both the modernism movement and arts and crafts style. As a result they develop work that appeals to people who love modern concepts but enjoy the warmth and detail of handcrafted furniture. The two met in 1998 at the University of Montana in Missoula. Inspired by the study of semiotics, both were exploring communication through alternative methods.
Bryce actively experimented in sculpture and furniture, while Kerry concentrated her efforts on graphic design and video journalism.
The two moved to the Detroit area where Bryce furthered his study of furniture at the College for Creative Studies, and Kerry worked as a graphic designer for the automotive industries. During a prolific period for them both, the lines between their disciplines began to blur. They were intrigued with concepts of simplicity in archetypal forms, finding order in random patterns, and how individualism contrasts with conformity. The messages they wanted to communicate came together in the process, materials and forms of their furniture.
Usually, for furniture, there are two ways to track history: through things like style and influence, and through scuffs, scratches, nicks, and dents. At Context Furniture, husband and wife Bryce and Kerry Moore have come up with a new way to show the history of your furniture. This time, though, it's not the provenance of the items that matters - it's their history as produced objects. Each piece in the narrative line from context is made of layers of Baltic birch plywood (strong and stylish both), which remind you that someone made this furniture. Even better, they made it to look great - every piece has a strip of hardwood incorporated into the plywood stack. The combination of mass production and handwork is exciting and interesting, and the look of the pieces is excellent.

Context Furniture:
Context was founded by husband wife team Bryce and Kerry Moore. Their experimentation and exploration sparked the essence of Context furniture. Bryce's background in craft and Kerry's in graphics merged during the design process; the result is the unconventional use of materials and a group both exquisitely crafted and dramatically enhanced with graphic accents.
Each design begins as an outline; a profile intended to communicate the essence the object, an ideal graphic icon of “chair” or “stool”. A hardwood stripe is incorporated in every piece, reinforcing the marriage of craft with graphic, industrial with natural, mass production with hand craftsmanship. Integrity of workmanship and planning drives each stage of development and construction of Context Furniture. Each piece of furniture provides an open window onto this process by exposing each layer of development in the final work.
