Fayetteville’s design scene is abuzz with quality craftsmen, aspiring designers and inspired shopkeepers. Perhaps none of them more artfully combines this trio of skills than Landon Shockey of The Gilded Stag. Known for a line of custom-designed and handcrafted furnishings, Shockey puts a fresh—and often colorful—spin on each piece he creates.
Shockey also enjoys having fun with the names of his pieces. The Gilded Stag draws its name from English inspiration and Shockey uses British references to title many of his works. For example, the Thomas mirror pays homage to the famous English furniture maker Thomas Chippendale, while the Shaftesbury bar cart draws its name from a street in London’s Chinatown, giving a nod to both its Chinese and British inspiration. As the line continues to evolve Shockey plans to add both soft goods and lighting.
