Martin Goebel
Martin was traditionally trained in cabinet and furniture making at age 19 in Fort Bragg, California at the College of the Redwoods. Returning to Saint Louis, Martin spent the next 6 years creating custom pieces for clients on commission while completing a Bachelors of Fine Arts (BFA) in Studio Fine Arts from the University of Missouri, Saint Louis. In 2008, Martin moved to Providence, Rhode Island to attend Rhode Island School of Design, where in 2010 he earned a Masters of Fine Arts (MFA) in Furniture Design, focusing on digital design. While on the East Coast Martin spent time in the Design and Engineering departments of some of America's premier Northeast furniture brands. A Saint Louisan to his core, Martin returned to Saint Louis in 2011 to begin Goebel & Co. Furniture.
"Our furniture embodies quality design and construction, but most of all facilitates function. The longevity of our work allows personal significance to grow between our clients and their furniture. The furniture isn't made to serve our purpose as designers or makers; it's made to serve the needs of our clients. It will look good and perform well even as life occurs on, around, and to it."
