New Work! by Brandon Walker

The last few months have been busy and I am excited to have delivered four pieces to Converse for their new HQ in Boston. Excited to see where they end up in the space. In total I created two lounge chairs and two side tables. They wanted pieces that reflected their brand identity and chose my Atlas Chair and Sympathy Stool as leaping off points for the designs. Here are the final pieces!

Atlas Chair 2.0

24" x 22" x 29"

Ash, Powder Coated Steel, Canvas

 

Sympathy Side Table

19" x 19" x 19"

Ash, Powder Coated Steel

Moved to Philly! by Brandon Walker

I recently relocated to Philly where I will be working with the design team at Stylex. Off to a busy start working on prototyping pieces for next years NeoCon. I am also getting geared up to show my work at Carroll and Sons Gallery in January. Very excited on all fronts! Looks like an insanely busy winter.....

Wanted Design, May 2014 by Brandon Walker

Found a couple images from Wanted Design back in May (Thank you Mariel!). It was a great weekend showing with my fellow grads plus I had the opportunity to meet incredible design talent from all over the world.

Carroll and Sons Art Gallery by Brandon Walker

Yesterday I met with the director of Carroll and Sons Gallery, Joseph Carroll. We had an engaging conversation about furniture and its relational context as both art object and design object. It was a pleasure to meet with him and see the beautiful space. I look forward to showing some of my work in the gallery in January! More details to follow.
