“The quality of the woods is reflected in the quality of the pieces which are produced-and this simply adds to the value of owning a piece of furniture from one of Irelands true artist-craftspeople.”
Sunday Tribune, March 2008

Stevan Hartung’s work is characterised by a purity of form, and materiels are carefully selected for their qualities of contrast. Hartung’s respect for wood and his craftsmanship are evident in a design that is marked by restraint.”
Irish Arts Review, Design Portfolio, Summer 2008

“Stevan Hartung’s furniture has the organic feel that’s popular in the Irish work, but at the same time has a precision and minimalism….combined with a paired down quality…. that we really loved.” Maureen Brampton,curator Bluecoats display center,Liverpool.
Nationwide, RTE, March 2008  Link

“(Stevan Hartung’s work shows) an engagement with the natural world, a finding of inspiration through the carefull observation of patterns of growth; in the natural raw material used and of organic form…..and it is this deep engagement with the world around him that most defines(his work) for me.”
