Max Pavlevsky, who I first knew as a benefactor to Doc Films and the University of Chicago, then later as a producer of a great film on war crimes (viet nam vs. nuremberg really) is apparently also really into furniture for surprisingly similar reasons as I am - because of the materials from which they are made.
Great link to the article on the U of C website.
Funny, having been a recipient of his generosity (I ran Doc Films in his theater and received some later monies to help upgrade some of the equipment), I've never actually met him...gotta love how the U of C ends up with a homogeny of eclectics...
