About Us

Fern is a furniture and lighting design studio based in New York’s Hudson River Valley devoted to producing modern heirlooms through a deep commitment to craft, material integrity and timeless design. Founded in 2009 by Jason Roskey in Brooklyn, Fern now operates from a studio and workshop in Hudson, NY, continuing the region’s long tradition of quality furniture making. Every piece is designed by Roskey and produced in-house by a team of skilled makers, with an emphasis on customization and refined forms. Fern works closely with a network of domestic suppliers and fabricators to create singular pieces for residential and commercial clients.

Jason Roskey is a designer and woodworker whose hands-on approach and deep reverence for materials shape every piece that comes out of Fern’s studio. Originally trained as an artist and self-taught in woodworking, Roskey began his design career building custom pieces by hand in Brooklyn. Over time, his practice evolved into a full-scale studio rooted in values of quiet craftsmanship, sculptural form, and sustainable local production. Today, he leads Fern’s design direction while working closely with his team to bring each piece to life with intention and care.
