Taylor Donsker Chairs
The Taylor Donsker Furniture Company epitomizes exploration and imagination through its use of the forms, colors, grains and textures of wood. By complementing the dark luster of walnut with materials such as polished granite, each desk, bench and cabinet becomes a one-of-a-kind, handcrafted creation.
Taylor Donsker — the company’s founder — attended the University of Southern California (USC) for architecture. After graduation, not many firms were hiring, so in his spare time, Donsker explored woodworking and furniture design in his parents’ garage.
He eventually landed a job at an architecture firm, but found that the use of computers gave him a feeling of detachment. With woodworking and furniture design, he was able to feel connected to each project.
In 2012, Donsker presented his furniture at a design show and soon began receiving orders. The success led him to find inspiration in the trees themselves. In an interview with USC, Donsker said, “Now, I look at the roots of a redwood and see a chaise lounge, the stump of a eucalyptus tree that should be a throne.”
Donsker currently makes 10 to 15 large-scale pieces per year for an international clientele. Every wood is carefully considered for inclusion in a new furniture item, including its grain, texture and coloration.
