§ Field Notes
About L. Post Rustics.
The distinctive character of Adirondack design, with its celebration of natural materials and artisanal skill, finds a profound expression in the work of Larry and Joann Post. Their creations, from intricate twig-work details to substantial log furniture, embody a style that is both deeply rooted in the region's heritage and uniquely personal to each client. They understand that furniture and architectural elements are not merely functional pieces, but reflections of individual taste and the spirit of a home or camp. This philosophy is evident in every hand-carved cabinet and custom-designed furnishing that emerges from their Lake Placid workshop.
A hallmark of their approach is the embrace of custom work, particularly in cabinetry. Clients are invited into a truly collaborative design process, where visions of tall, short, deep, or wide cabinets can be brought to life. The Posts excel in incorporating unusual woods, delicate twig-work, or even hand-painted details to create pieces that are entirely bespoke. This dedication extends beyond cabinetry to their full range of Adirondack furniture, ensuring that each desk, bed, or table aligns perfectly with the client's desired aesthetic and functional needs. Their expertise also spans architectural detailing, offering a comprehensive suite of services for those seeking a cohesive, handcrafted environment.
The Posts' reputation for creativity and craftsmanship is well-established, drawing praise from clients and collaborators alike. Their contributions to the rebuilding of the Lake Placid Lodge after its **2005** fire stand as a testament to their versatility, where they skillfully adapted antique furniture and executed decorative painting with both verve and humor. Testimonials consistently laud their artistic talent, their thorough communication from conception to installation, and their ability to consistently deliver projects on time and within budget. Working with Larry and Joann is frequently described as a genuine pleasure, a reflection of their personable approach and deep passion for their craft.
While much of their work is custom, visitors can experience the breadth of their artistry at their Lake Placid Gallery. This space provides an opportunity to discover special pieces for a home, camp, or lodge, showcasing examples of their casework, tables, nightstands, beds, and more. For those with specific projects in mind, visits to their workshop are welcomed by appointment, allowing for a more in-depth discussion of design possibilities. The scale of their inventory is focused on unique, high-quality pieces, with each item reflecting the meticulous attention to detail and artistic integrity that defines L. Post Rustics.
