San Diego–based furniture and lighting designer Nicholas Bijan Pourfard shapes unlikely materials into innovative yet functional homeware. The guitar maker turned interior designer founded his namesake label in 2019 to experiment with his curiosity for the physical limitations of objects, resulting in a collection as practical as it is contemporary. Pieces are fabricated by hand with a passion for craftsmanship, using sustainable materials and accented in one-of-a-kind, natural finishes. Taking inspiration from his Persian heritage as much as from his teenage hobby of building skateboard ramps, Nicholas Bijan Pourfard reimagines an entire category of wares with his avant-garde explorations of form.
