Alex Hsu is a furniture designer and artist from New Hope, PA, a quaint arts town on the Delaware river, a hub for early 20th century American Impressionist painting, and home to George Nakashima’s furniture studio. The son of an architect, he learned from a young age the impact of the spaces we inhabit and the importance of the things we put in them.

His work pays close attention to the materiality, form, texture, and color of objects — elements that, when addressed with intention, have the power to transform the ordinary into remarkable. Through the combination of traditional and experimental use of materials and handcraft and digital technologies, he strives to make work that is seemingly familiar yet delightfully unexpected.
