Matt Rink & Sarah bader
our team
Matt Rink and Sarah Bader, husband and wife, artists and builders, reside and operate New Antiquity in breathtakingly beautiful Litchfield County. They both attended Alfred University in Upstate New York, each receiving a BFA in sculpture, metalworking, woodworking, and photography combined. Matt obtained his MFA in design and sculpture from Clemson University in South Carolina. What began as an exciting collaboration, building furniture for their apartment and wedding, swiftly grew into a full-time business as they discovered the possibilities in the confluence between functional and fine art. Matt and Sarah draw inspiration from the landscape and history around them, creating purposeful and transformative designs. All their creations are built and designed with clever details and fine craftsmanship that is practical and whimsical.
As fully licensed and insured home improvement contractors with a solid crew of experienced carpenters and cabinetmakers, we welcome projects from framing through finish.
