Based on classic shop stools, the Bozely's handwoven Danish cord perch is measured to help little children reach tables. It takes its name from designer Jory Brigham’s youngest son, for whom it was first created.
In a craft furniture marketplace flooded with newcomers, many artisans would kill for Jory Brigham’s bona fides. Last year the Northern California designer took on Spike TV’s furniture-making competition Framework and triumphed despite having no formal education in the field. What he lacked in schooling, he made up for in know-how. Hailing from Hawaii, where he grew up watching his dad, a builder and architect, toil in the studio, Brigham belongs to a lineage of woodworkers that stretches back to his great-grandfather.
Embracing this tradition, and all the trade secrets that come with it, his work puts a contemporary spin on the material-driven, handcrafted approach of his forebearers. Click through the slides to sample Brigham’s proudly American, walnut-intensive riffs on midcentury Danish design.
