Kwadwo Som-Pimpong is the founder and chief craftsman of Crafted Glory, a sculptural furniture studio in the mountains of Western North Carolina. A Ghanaian-American engineer turned maker, Kwadwo shapes work that carries the visual language of his heritage—organic forms and warmth of material. Each piece moves between machine and hand, with final forms emerging through hours of carving and finishing. His work is in homes and spaces across all 50 states.
