Sherry Williamson

Sherry Williamson AIA, IIDA co-heads RIVET, an interior design firm, with Liz Littman. Rivet integrates specific project goals with an experimental mindset, meticulously curates past objects and fabricates present companions. They specialize in residential interiors and have extensive experience choreographing complex renovations, new builds, LEED projects, and coordinating large teams, fabricators and installers.

RIVET OBJECT is a collection that showcases the duo’s custom furnishings, lighting, and sculpture. These objects are born from their curious conversations with raw materials, lush textiles and vintage treasures.

Williamson’s award-winning interiors and lighting designs are nationally recognized, and her measured ink wash drawings of early 20th c. stone and iron facades are in the collection of the National Building Arts Center in Sauget, Illinois.  

Williamson worked with Robert Venturi of VRSB Architects near Philadelphia and Joe Esherick of EHDD in San Francisco, before establishing her art and design practice in Mill Valley, CA.

Artist Statement

I create compositions, happy cohabitations of the natural and human-shaped worlds.  

A burst of energy or momentary calm draws disparate elements into conversation. 

Machined and handmade elements simmer and collide in a seemingly effortless gesture. 

Not overworked. Not labored. A pendant tree, a bold ceramic sculpture, a radiant lamp. Each enjoying a sense of movement.
