John Hein designs and builds elegantly restrained hardwood furniture with
a purity of form that emphasizes the aesthetic qualities of the materials.
A traditional respect for nature combined with a contemporary structure result
in rectilinear, spare pieces of furniture that allow the intrinsic quality of
precious woods and their grains to stand out.
John Hein has received fellowships from both the National Endowment for the
Arts and the New Jersey State Council on the Arts.
He has participated in over 60 museum and gallery exhibitions since
he began making furniture in 1986.
He has been a juror, lecturer, curator, exhibition advisor, on-site arts evaluator,
and grants panelist.
He has received many awards, and he is included in
Who's Who in American Art and Who's Who in the World.
John Hein lives and works in Hopewell, New Jersey (USA).
