"One of the goals I hope to achieve in making my furniture is to pay homage in some small way to the wonder and beauty of our natural environment. I strive for an economy of form in my work and like to use simple lines with minimal detail to achieve this balance. My work is meant to be utilitarian, and I'd be honored to think that it will be enjoyed both today and well into the future."
Stewart Wurtz
"One of the lures of studio furniture is obvious: It brings the handmade into everyday life and provides daily enjoyment. This pleasure is enhanced in Stewart Wurtz's work. He is a natural designer who expresses his vision in refined workmanship that reflects his excellent training and his lifelong devotion to this medium. But it is his ability to handle details that makes you catch your breath. This is what elevates his work to the level of art. Be it his intelligent use of contrasting woods or how he conceives transitions of one plane to the next, Stewart's work rewards close scrutiny. It is easy to recommend Stewart because it is a privilege to live with his work."

"We have worked with Stewart Wurtz and Lunaworks Design on many projects, from a whole-house remodel, including cabinetry and bookcases, to furniture custom-designed for our particular living spaces and needs. Stewart's artistry, sensitivity to his customer, attention to detail, and plain common sense make the interaction as enjoyable as the outcome."
