The Gat Creek Story
Growing up in West Virginia, I lived in a contemporary house
surrounded by tall trees and mountains. My brother and I spent
many happy hours playing in an idyllic setting that includes a
small, rocky creek that now bears my name—because I discovered
that creek before my brother did. My love for nature and
appreciation of design stems from these early days on Gat
Creek. Ultimately, the days of my youth have had a significant
impact on my career choices. In 1996, I purchased a small
furniture company called Tom Seely Furniture, named for the
founder who spent 40 years building antique reproductions, by
hand out of solid wood.
Because I am in the furniture business, conversations with
friends often revolve around their desire to find a
“different” kind of furniture. These friends are people who
respect tradition but don’t necessarily want traditional
furniture. What they seem to want is the quality found in
antiques, but they also express a desire to find furniture
with clean, uncomplicated lines. They want the beauty and
warmth of wood, yet in a more straightforward type of idiom.
And so, I have taken these conversations to heart. The result
is a new line of handmade furniture that I feel speaks to
their lifestyles, while showcasing the natural beauty and
warmth of wood. While made by the Tom Seely Furniture Company,
this new furniture is a total departure both in style and
attitude. What we built has caught on, and now we call it Gat
Creek.
