Everyone’s story begins somewhere. ForJoshua Ribbeck, the driving force behind Stark Brands, was over a decade of advertising design and information technology work, before branching into product and furniture design. After designing his first end table for his home, which was featured in the Best of the Year awards by Interior Design Magazine, Josh was approached by customers to design more furniture in his signature style. Noted for his technical elegance, Josh's dedication to the pursuit of making stylish, sleek, well-made furniture propelled the brand to be a premiere manufacturer of fine handcrafted furniture. The design and engineering of these furnishings is all carefully overseen by Josh in our Louisiana and Tennessee shops. His creations echo his deep respect for the relationship between man and his environment and always wanting to create maximum effect with a minimum of material.
