Nick Mazerolle
Nick Mazerolle is a furniture maker and artisan based in Fredericton, New Brunswick, who is dedicated to the art of handcrafted design. Rooted in a respect for honest craftsmanship, Nick's work marries the organic forms of mid-century Danish design with a modern, timeless sensibility. Each piece created tells a story, which has been informed by years of honing his skills in the Maritimes, a foundation in fine woodworking, and a lifelong passion for thoughtful design. Every creation—be it a large piece of furniture or a hand-carved spoon—is guided by a commitment to high-quality construction and a natural, enduring aesthetic.
“In my work, I seek to bridge functionality and art, creating objects that serve a purpose while enriching the lives of those who use them. Every piece I craft, from furniture to decorative items, embodies a balance between simplicity and elegance, allowing it to naturally integrate into its environment without overpowering it. I aim to use each piece of wood with intention, minimize waste and create lasting heirlooms that defy the fleeting nature of trends. My journey in furniture-making is one of deep respect for materials and an exploration of their potential to express beauty through utility.”
Nick’s hand-carved spoons are born from his studio’s offcuts, in an effort to give new life to materials that might otherwise go unused. Each spoon begins as a simple block of wood, and, as he carves, Nick allows the form to reveal itself.
“I don’t approach these pieces with a rigid design but instead let creativity flow with each cut. I shape the wood into a unique piece that celebrates both the material’s natural beauty and its transformation into something functional.”
