Brad Nelson



Brad Nelson’s Asian inspired minimalist furniture. Nelson forces his users to question how minimal furniture can present itself before “it’s just a piece of wood” Nelson’s integration of drawers easily connects his pieced to concepts of furniture. Taking away the drawers however the user is left to decide what function Nelson develops his designs while he works on each piece of furniture, making strategic decisions as he goes. He responds to the materials at hand and their shapes to create the proper design elements. He also incorporates his love of the natural world and his concern for the environment wherever he can; often using reclaimed wood in his tables and stands. Rather than synthetics or plastics the inspiration comes from within each reclaimed piece of timber.
