Sebastian Étagère 3S by VOLK

VOLK Furniture is a contemporary design studio that strives to create objects and furnishings imbued with a feeling of harmony and balance. We believe that simplicity can be luxurious and that whimsical details can bring lasting joy. We are inspired by playful utility and thoughtful purpose. We love that design can bring us together and connect us to our history as well as to our environment. Owner and designer, Brian Volk-Zimmerman (BFA, Rhode Island School of Design) is a painter and musician who began making furniture in 2006 in a cabinet shop in the Brooklyn Navy Yard. After moving his studio to a Civil War era warehouse in Red Hook Brooklyn, he launched his studio with a small collection in 2012. VOLK Furniture is named to honor a family tradition that he discovered when he found a simply constructed wooden side chair in the attic of the family farmhouse in which he grew up. The chair was one of many in the house made by his great-great-great-great grandfather, John Volk, a furniture maker of local renown in the early 19th century. The promise of VOLK Furniture is to create timeless objects, crafted with care and an attention to detail that ensures each piece will be valued for generations. VOLK Furniture has been featured in publications such as the New York Times, Surface Magazine, Interior Design Magazine, Elle Decor among others.
