about us
Fine Art as Furniture is an exciting genre, combining the sophisticated gesso technique of densely layered paint with classic handmade elegant carpentry to produce unique, rare and highly collectable pieces.
Indonesia’s diverse and exotic wildlife, in many cases endangered, comes alive in an exquisite new collection of handpainted fine furniture pieces. They are designed by Mary Justice Thomasson – founder and owner of Mary Justice Designs.
Mary Justice has been a passionate collector of decorative arts from a very young age. A new joy in the discovery of the natural world has led her to create decorative arts that bring awareness to our endangered world. After researching indigenous flora, fauna and deep-sea marine life in one of the most biodiverse parts of the world, Mary Justice Designs preserves the natural world in heirloom pieces that can be passed down for generations.
The collection has been years in the making to ensure that each piece is a sustainable, collectable work-of-art designed to immortalize the extraordinary natural beauty of a country Mary Justice has come to love.

CREATUres
We like discovering beauty in the extraordinary life of bugs. Some of life's greatest creations are so small you might even miss them. Colour combinations that defy the imagination are at the heart of our collection.
seasons
Amidst the active “ring of fire” volcanic life and extreme weather conditions, that includes snow in Papua, we look forward to showing you that island life is more than meets the eye.
Seascapes
With over 17,000 islands in the Indonesian archipelago, life just above the waters edge will be portrayed in all of it’s glorious manifestations.
"This launch collection represents the culmination of many years of living here in Bali and of my travels and research across the Indonesian archipelago. Hand-painted furniture is my background and my passion and I cannot think of a better way to express my love and admiration for the beauty of this extraordinary country and its people than to create something which celebrates this in such a way that people can also treasure it, as I do."
- Mary Justice Thomasson
