Florida native and third generation woodworker, Bo Gibbs brings his heirloom quality furniture, stained glass, and wood carvings to Saint Augustine’s longest running artist cooperative.
Open to artists with unique talents and visions, the Professional Artists of St. Augustine (PAStA), welcomes Bo Gibbs, furniture designer and maker to our Charlotte Street gallery. For the first time, the gallery includes the heirloom quality, sustainably sourced hardwood furniture, stained glass, and sculptures of this third-generation woodworker and Florida native.
“The process to build these objects takes time, passion, and hard work. They are built to last. It is my hope that my work will be passed down from generation to generation. No two pieces are alike, they are truly unique one-of-a-kind objects. I don’t have production lines, or mass assembly line pieces, each item you see on this site was individually designed and made by me, from ideas and details inspired by nature,” Bo, artist, woodworker, and founder and owner of Gibbs Fine Designs studio based near St. Augustine, Florida.
Bo has been crafting unique pieces for over thirty years, having learned the craft of woodworking at this father’s knee. A woodshop class in high school confirmed his passion for creating objects that combined art with functionality by incorporating beautiful hardwoods with inlay, metals, and stained-glass features. His contemporary furniture designs include cabinetry, tables, lamps and lanterns. He adds stained glass features to several of his furniture pieces, such as his exquisite Whale Cabinet that not only includes stained glass depicting sea life, but carefully detailed carved embellishments to the piece. In the gallery, the Whale Cabinet invokes a “wow!” by every customer…
