About Ancient Futures Design

Creativity is more than just being different — making the simple awesomely simple.

Robbie Mandel woodworking

From the snowy mountains of Japan to the modern Southwestern home, shoji style speaks to me because it blends delicacy with durability, minimalism with fine woodworking.

Robbie Mandel migrated from the East Coast to New Mexico many years ago. In 2014, he moved to Boulder and founded Ancient Futures Design. His background in art, homebuilding, and architectural elements informs every piece.

He currently lives in Lyons and enjoys spending time making music when not in the shop.

I draw inspiration from Asian traditions, Mission architecture, Greene & Greene homes, and modern masters such as Thomas Moser, Wendell Castle, and Sam Maloof.
