DRYAD

Long after being harvested wood continues to move and breathe, and as each board is being shaped, the materials natural, physical qualities help to define the final piece.

I AM KEVIN SEWELSON, OWNER OF DRYAD WORKS, A DESIGN STUDIO AND HAND CRAFTED FURNITURE SHOP LOCATED AT MY HOME IN LOS ANGELES. AFTER MANY YEARS OF EDITING AND PRODUCING TRAILERS AND TV COMMERCIALS FOR THE MOTION PICTURE INDUSTRY, I HAVE GONE BACK TO MY ROOTS TO FOCUS ON MY LOVE FOR FINE CRAFTSMANSHIP. NOW, BUILDING FINE FURNITURE IS HOW I HAVE CHOSEN TO EXPRESS MYSELF CREATIVELY. MY INSPIRATION COMES FROM A DESIRE TO DEPART FROM A WORLD OF MASS PRODUCTION, AND INSTEAD, FOCUS ON INDIVIDUALLY CRAFTED DESIGNS WITH AN ATTENTION TO DETAIL AND FINE JOINERY. IT IS MY DEVOTION TO BUILD MODERN, BEAUTIFUL FURNITURE THAT WILL LAST A LIFETIME.

MY EFFORT IS TO CREATE IMAGINATIVE DESIGNS THAT ARE VISUALLY PLEASING WHILE MAINTAINING THE ESSENTIALS OF COMFORT AND FUNCTIONALITY. I WANT MY CLIENTS TO FEEL SOMETHING POSITIVE FROM MY PIECES AS THEY INTERACT WITH THE ATMOSPHERE OF THEIR HOMES AND CONTRIBUTE TO THE QUALITY OF THEIR LIVES.

MY PROCESS INVOLVES WORKING CLOSELY WITH EACH OF MY CLIENTS. MY PIECES ARE AVAILABLE AS THEY’RE SHOWN HERE OR CAN BE MODIFIED IN ANY WAY TO FIT YOUR SPECIFIC NEEDS. I AM ALWAYS DEVELOPING NEW DESIGNS BUT ALSO WOULD LOVE TO WORK WITH YOU DIRECTLY TO CREATE AN ORIGINAL PIECE BASED ON YOUR IDEAS.
