About LaFollette Group

LaFollette Group is a collective of artisans influenced by modernism and design functionality. We design and produce high-end craft media including jewelry, rugs, furniture, flatware, and holloware. Working together as a group has been inspirational, keeping our designs fresh and facilitating solutions to recalcitrant design problems.

Commitment to high quality craftsmanship is the standard for all our products whether one-of-a-kind or serial production. Designs are produced as one-offs, limited editions, or one-of-a-kind, and in jewelry some production.

LaFollette artisans exhibit independently in addition to collaborative efforts. Collectively we are represented by a broad array of galleries and exhibition opportunities.

LaFollette Group is also committed to environmental stability and social responsibility. We maintain our studios on a 100-acre tract in Cherryfield, an idyllic, if remote, village in “Down East” Maine. LaFollette's collective affection for biodiversity is expressed through interactive organic gardens, landscape design, and sustainable forest management. The grounds provide an inspirational atmosphere for contemplation and design resolution. They offer extensive orchards and dispersed rustic seating destinations, a minimalist rose garden as well as numerous paths, board walks, and trails. For more extensive excursions there is a mile long all-weather road, which traverses meadows, blue berry fields, and the boreal forest, terminating near a beaver dam.

LaFollette Group strives to have a positive impact on the cultural and economic life of our Maine community. We exhibit work locally and mentor young artists. A number of our processes are subcontracted to local artisans, and we train them to accommodate our quality standards.
