100A century of maine craftsmanship
inspired by
A century ago, Hans Heistad and my great
grandfather, Captain Edward Harper, labored
on the rugged coastline of Maine.
Hans, a landscape architect, designed and
worked the rocky landscape of a coastal estate.
Captain Harper sailed his schooner “The
Bloomer” past this estate with a cargo of
granite block, destined to build a nearby
lighthouse.

Within eyesight of each other they worked
their passions from wood and stone, creating
masterpieces that stand strong and inspire us
over a century later.

Hans, the son of a boat builder, was a
Norwegian-born landscape architect.
He immigrated to New York to become
a protogé of Frederick Law Olmsted.
Hans worked alongside Olmsted on
prominent national parks such as New
York City’s Central Park.
In 1904, he moved his family to Maine to
work for many years creating landscapes for
summer coastal estates. His pride creation
was an estate called “Weatherend.”
At Weatherend, Hans built outdoor garden
rooms and terraces in harmony with the
Maine coastline. He crafted curved tables
and seating using the boatbuilding skills
that his father taught him.
In 1915, Hans built the furniture that
inspired us.

Forty years later, my father began his talent
as a master furniture and world class yacht
builder. The merging of these talents
created a new expertise. My father honed
this nautical artistry for decades. Always
with perfection in mind and skill at hand,
he built masterpieces for both home and sea.
My dad, Keith Harper circa 1955
1955the craftsmanship
Working alongside my father, I saw him
employ the materials and techniques of a
yacht builder by using marine epoxies,
fasteners, and yacht finishes-- all methods
that withstood the test of weather.
Little did I know this special expertise would
be our destiny, to build heirloom outdoor
furnishings made possible through the
fusion of yachtbuilding skills and materials.
