Andrea Mihalik, Wild Chairy

by Ryan Salinetti in Furniture Design, Home, Industrial Design, Reclaimed, Repurposed, Salvaged, Sustainable, Artists


Resident artist and owner of Wild Chairy Studio, Andrea Mihalik’s handcrafted chairs combine the nostalgia of old world stateliness with the bold whimsy of contemporary upholsteries, resulting in unexpected and unique home furnishings.

Wild Chairy creates one-of-a-kind pieces of functional art using old world techniques and only the finest materials that are earth friendly. Each piece is done by hand using coil springs, horsehair, Italian twine and organic cotton to breathe new life into these recycled vintage treasures.

Andrea's adept use of organic and "green" materials has allowed her creations to be described as "wild and funky" and "delightful examples of stylish, conscientious, sustainable decor."

A graduate of Tyler School of Art and former award-winning photojournalist for the Philadelphia Daily News, Andrea traveled the globe for 12 years photographing everything from popes to presidents. Her natural instincts for visual composition, artistic color combinations and world travels inform the details of every chair she creates.
