David Moser’s passion for building has been the hallmark of his life and career. Growing up in the Thos. Moser furniture company—founded by his father, Thomas Moser—David shaped its design evolution from Shaker and Arts and Crafts roots into a fluid, contemporary aesthetic. His creative spirit and forward-thinking designs have been internationally recognized and commissioned by Popes, Presidential Libraries, and cultural icons alike.“I am first an artist,” David says. “I see the potential in all material things and coax form from the innocuous.” Trained in economics but drawn to making by instinct, he describes himself as a self-taught artist and technician, working across mediums with an innate feel for form. While wood remains central, sculpture in clay and stone offers freedom from function—“a kind of expression furniture can’t provide.”David works primarily in clay, creating figurative nudes that are cast in bronze, alongside abstract works in native island stone. His bronze sculptures, born from plastilina and brought to life in fire, embody gesture, posture, and emotional presence. “There is great liberation in free-spirited abstract forms,” he says. “As an artist, I don’t initially need to serve anyone but myself and only then hope that others share in my delight.”Based in coastal Maine, David continues to build in every sense of the word—art, space, narrative, and self. His work invites reflection and emotional resonance, grounded in contemporary Maine art and the legacy of craftsmanship.Hear more of David’s story on Radio Maine.
