8. Fabulous Furniture

Driving along the scenic Route 28 through the town of Boiceville, New York, you may be surprised to see a shiny silver spaceship and a floating UFO on the side of the road. These eye-catching roadside sculptures are the work of Steve Heller, founder of Fabulous Furniture. The locally owned store was founded by Heller in 1973 and it sells custom, hand-crafted designs made out of wood and other materials. Heller’s quirky artistic style is evident in all of the unique pieces he creates.

As a kid, Heller would look for fallen trees to bring home and carve. When his father died and left a collection of scrap metal, Heller also began to weld. In his furniture making and sculpting Heller uses both skill sets to craft bold, one-of-a-kind pieces. It’s not just furniture that Heller creates, but sculptural works and customized cars as well!
