Ian Love Design

Ian's collection of design and functional art pieces includes resin-filled burl sculptures and objet, large-scale spalted wood dining tables and daybeds, multi-purpose room dividers, storage and case pieces, tabletop items and home goods, charming headboards, trunk or root-based suspended lighting systems and chandeliers, mirrors and mixed-media wall art, benches, and an incredibly diverse line of hand-carved stools with playful variations on leg designs and stump bases.

With an innate attraction to spalted wood because of its marbled character, Ian’s media span all genera of timber: cherry blossom, walnut, oak, cedar, maple, elm, hickory, as well as resin, concrete, alabaster, stone, metals, and mixed-media found flora. While a constantly evolving practice, Ian’s signature hand-chattered imprint finds itself in many of his designs, validating an appreciation of the imperfect in his holistic design concepts and their unconventionally beautiful finished products.
