Building the bridge between the natural and modern world.

Graeme Facteau is currently a student at Maine College of Art and Design expected to graduate with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Woodworking and Furniture Design in May 2023. Facteau was born and raised in Hopkinton New Hampshire, a small town above the state’s capital of Concord in the New England woods. Facteau’s pursuit of design focuses on a revitalization of art nouveau stylizations and the philosophy of integrating the elements of nature into his furniture. While this core principle remains the same, Facteau differs from the original artists that founded Art Nouveau by drawing source material from insects, exoskeletons, and the fractal patterns of roots without directly referencing them in the pieces.
