Aaron Scott Design
Brooklyn-based designer Aaron Scott was raised in the mountains and forests of Southwest Oregon. He studied philosophy at the University of Colorado, Boulder, followed by fine art at the San Francisco Art Institute. Since moving to NYC in the late 90s Scott has worked in a variety of mediums – film, sculpture, writing and furniture design. Drawing inspiration from nature, science and mathematics, Scott’s work explores relationships of space, light and movement. Using a meticulous, labor-intensive process that relies on the hand and the eye, improvisation and experimentation, Scott has developed a body of sculptural furniture characterized by complex geometries, rotational symmetry and unconventional engineering. With each new piece Scott attempts to push the boundaries of the medium of wood and his own imagination, posing and re-posing the question to himself: Which parts of the form are essential and which can be removed?
