So what is a self-proclaimed oenophile and former rock and roller from the Midwest doing designing hand-crafted artisan furniture for high-end clientele in Los Angeles? “ I wanted to bring pleasure and comfort to the ambiance of a person’s surroundings with art made to last generations – a way to leave my mark on the world long after I have gone,” says Anderson. It was this credo that gave birth to Furniture by Rob. Born into a Midwestern family of eight children where “new” really meant “hand-me-downs,” Anderson quickly acquired an appreciation for the finer things in life. That is, anything that wasn’t recycled. After toiling through his 20s and 30s as a musician, a model, and eventually a bookkeeper, Anderson decided to make his real dream come true. He began making furniture for his own home, harking back to Louis XIV-era designs as well as contemporary pieces inspired by Emile Ruhlmann. Although Anderson has studied marquetry under Silas Kopf, carving with Marc Adams, and decorative inlay at the North Bennett Street School, most of his experience has been self-taught and self-realized. In the beginning, Anderson spent countless hours pouring over the techniques of designer legends like Andre-Charles Boulle, Jean-Francois Oeben, Jean-Henri Riesener, Emile Ruhlmann, Jean Dunand, and Jean Michael Frank, and, once he mixed in his own flair for the Art Deco dramatic, emerged as one of the leading woodworking artisans in the country.
