Designer Country…………. Haward Dwright Palmateer
Haward grew up in north central BC with mixed Native Indian and European ancestry. Initially he studied and worked in First Nation’s education and employment; however, he harbored a strong interest in furniture design and finishing. He left government employment in a quest to develop his personal interest in this area. Twelve years ago he and his partner Kelly opened the highly acclaimed Vancouver store, Farmhouse Collections. One of the most exciting aspects of this design was the opportunity to develop and adapt country furniture seen in his youth in log cabins, hunting lodges and farms. Stylistically, Haward’s interests include north American country, but he has begun to integrate more European country elements, such as coved crown moldings, pillars and art work finishes.
