About The Artist

Scott Wynn • San Francisco, CA
Wood • WHOLESALE AVAILABLE • CUSTOM COMMISSIONS

A third generation woodworker I have been designing and making furniture and accessories since 1976, primarily out of wood, but also other materials where I think their use might be appropriate and exciting; materials such as brass, steel, copper, aluminum, ceramic, paper, linoleum, concrete. Though I work at a variety of scales, I find that the successful design of furniture and the everyday things we use provides the most challenges — and the most rewards—and possibly serves the most people.

Q&A with the Artist

Tell us how your work is made.

My work is made with a combination of the tried and true traditional hand skill methods, often rediscovered and long practiced; with modest power tools to assist.


What makes you passionate about the medium you work with?

Each piece of wood is individual and as such must be dealt with individually. Some times the piece inspires a work, and oftentimes a preconceived work must change to accommodate it. Always a challenge!

What is something unique about you or your practice?

I also use brass, steel, copper, aluminum, ceramic, paper, linoleum, concrete and other materials where I think their use might be appropriate and exciting. As primarily a furniture maker, the use of the piece will often initiate the scale and volume of the design. I then try and rethink how it might be built, as I think structure, movement in using the piece and movement around the piece, hardware and connectors and connections should all say something about the piece, emphasizing, accentuating, challenging the user to heighten their awareness and increase their enjoyment of what otherwise might be an everyday, mundane, repetitive task.
