PROJECTS

Furniture, lighting, and sculptural forms in dialogue with architecture and landscape.

Zen Shack Studios collaborates with architects, designers, and homeowners on custom furniture, lighting, and site-specific work. Each project is approached as part of a larger environment, with pieces tailored to the architecture, material palette, and setting.
