sheri_bingham-ironthreaddesignSheri Bingham is the creative force behind Iron Thread Design. Never one to sit still for long, Sheri is a trained opera and jazz singer with degrees in religious studies and math education. A mother of three, she comes from a long line of scientists and mathematicians.

Her natural curiosity and mathematical precision is quite evident in her work. Her furniture is clean and solid. It makes sense. It stands strong. It is garnished with detail and natural elements. It is a careful balance of precision, playfulness and comfort.

Iron Thread Design is very much a family affair. Sheri’s husband Christian is a green builder and designs/builds the internal structure (www.squarehousebuilding.com). Her children are frequently assigned tasks when they visit her studio…

Sheri’s design inspiration comes from a vast array of references ranging from children’s books to industrial machines. She has been an upholsterer for over 10 years. She is self taught; fueled by a love of fabric and of simply ‘making things’.

Iron Thread Furniture is all lovingly hand crafted in Sheri’s Austin, TX design studio. Iron Thread is design for living with. Daily ritual’s like putting your feet up after a long day, playing a game with the kids, casting off just worn clothes or laying out the next outfit all have a place on an Iron Thread ottoman.

Iron Thread Design was born from a joy of creating. More collections are on the way for you to enjoy. As always, Sheri is excited about whats next…
