Rick and Denise Pratt are known as two of America's leading makers of traditional and contemporary twig furnishings. Their family business, around the bend, is located in a renovated hog barn on a 9 acre farm just north of Wooster, Ohio. This couple grew up in the same west-side Cleveland suburb. The Pratts were married in the late 70's and started their family right away.
An old twig rocker, previously purchased by Denise and the introduction to John Phillips well known twig builder, provided the inspiration that started Rick building in 1980. Throughout the years their three children have worked with them to create the diverse character of around the bend. With the use of copper, old tin, barn boards, and paint they have been able to create a very unique type of furniture.
Rick is a more traditional, symmetrical guy who likes things natural. With his experience in carpentry and construction, he has been able to create sturdy, practical pieces. Denise has a more contemporary outlook. Her instinct and creativity with a mix of patterns and color has influenced today's ever changing product line.
