A Belated Introduction

If you visit our office, you will notice a new addition to the decor. Photographer Trisha Barry has loaned us selections from her project Remembering Nichols and Stone.

Nichols and Stone, then one of the oldest furniture manufacturers in the country, closed in 2008. Trisha’s work is a tribute to the company, and to the town of Gardner, MA, which was once well known for its furniture factories.

Trisha writes: “Working on this project has given me great insight into the plight faced by workers who face everyday the loss of their means of achieving a good living with their hands, and the pride one takes from fine craftsmanship in an era that has vanished.”

Although the photographs are of an industrial setting, the color and lighting make them remarkably soothing. Trisha doesn’t have a website, so the only way you will get to see these beautiful photos is by coming in for a treatment! They will be up until the middle of September.
