Susannah and Nathan Furr

Susannah Harmon Furr is an entrepreneur, designer, art historian, and contrarian. Her clothing line was inspired by the intricate embroidery Dutch women painstakingly rendered on their plain uniforms—details often invisible to all but the wearer—and its significance in their daily lives. She has led workshops with organizations like Google and Colombia University. She recently started a biointensive garden as part of a larger "hope accelerator" in Normandy. She and Nathan are the parents of four children.
