The Dwell 24: Sukrachand

Furniture designer Robert Sukrachand started out at New York University as a photography student. But after college, he didn’t love the work he was doing. Needing a different creative outlet, he joined a community workshop in Brooklyn and started playing around with making wood furniture. 

"I didn’t know anything about woodwork, but I was immediately addicted to the feeling of making something with my hands," the designer says. He now splits his time between Brooklyn and Chiang Mai, Thailand—as a kid growing up outside Boston, Sukrachand spent summers in Thailand with his father—and he sees his work as a conversation between the two cultures.
