About The Artist
Brian Welch • Brooklyn, NY
Furniture • CUSTOM COMMISSIONS
I am a self taught furniture maker. I design and build beds, desks, tables and other one of a kind pieces for residential and commercial clients. After living in Japan in my twenties, I found work at a small antique restoration shop in Brooklyn. I couldn’t read a tape measure and had never made a thing, but fell deeply in love with furniture and haven’t looked back since. I am constantly striving to push the artistic expression in my work.

Q&A with the ArtistTell us how your work is made.First is the input stage; in which I draw inspiration from books, materials, images, nature and drawing. Next I make renderings until I am happy with the proportions and overall feel of the piece, at which point I begin fabrication in the shop. The design remains pretty fluid until the piece is complete, but always with the intention firmly established. |
