Overview

Cal Summers is a British designer based in New York City who makes bespoke handmade furniture and objects in which he explores the beauty of materiality and form.

Coming from a family of creatives, father being a still life photographer and mother an art director, Cal was heavily influenced from an early age by the creative air that filled his family home. This would lay the foundations for his own creative ability and visual intellect.

 

After graduating in Design and Craft from the University of Brighton, Cal went on to study at the School of Visual Arts in NYC. He is recognised by leading designers and architects, and is now being represented by galleries in New York City, Montreal and Paris.

 

Inspired by brut architecture and his surrounding environment, Cals work forms a dialogue between contrasting elements. Pairing weathered materials with contemporary forms, his pieces could be objects from the future as well as the past
