About Me

Name: sb
Location: New York, New York

Once a musician, writer, and spoken word performer, Scott Braun now designs and builds sculptural furniture by commission as he runs a "co-op" shop in Brooklyn, acts as President of Furniture New York, and serves on the Board of Trustees of the Furniture Society. He also critiques and lectures on the subjects of design and craft, and has recently joined the faculty in the Sculpture Department at the Yale University School of Art. His work has been placed in the homes of collectors throughout the United States, and is frequently featured in design magazines such as Interior Design, ForbesLife, House Beautiful, and the NYTimes Home section. He is still young enough to be excited about the future, and just old enough to know it's all gone to hell.
