Custom Furniture Designed By Kevin Gray

Many of the furnishings in homes designed by interior designer Kevin Gray and the Kevin Gray Design team are custom, one-of-a-kind pieces designed by Kevin exclusively for that home. There are many advantages to custom-designed furniture – higher quality, sized for hard-to-fit spaces, exact color and fabric choices. But the most important benefit of custom furniture is uniqueness: the homeowner will never see that same piece in someone else’s home.

Kevin explains,

“After graduating from Parsons, Paris in 1979 I decided to move to Paris – and bought a classic 19th century apartment which I partially gutted and turned into a loft-like space – and stayed for 10 years! I made it modern with glass block walls separating the kitchen and bathroom with an open plan for my furniture and lamp designs.

I was designing and producing one of a kind furniture and lamps for some of the top designers in the fashion industry in Paris, London and Hamburg. I was inspired by German Bauhaus, French Art Deco, Spanish Antonio Gaudi in Barcelona, Italian 40s-50s- especially Murano glass. I was especially taken by the top French designers in the ’50s: Prouvé, Perriand, Serge Mouille, Mallet-Stevens.

Touches of metal inlays, silver leaf, faux leathers, lacquer, and even snakeskin accents. Unique materials in various shapes and forms give a unique look to a room and add character

Adding unique touches give it personality, and I keep my designs practical,  with one of a kind pieces in various finishes, and a combination of materials, finishes and fabrics. I use exotic woods, often in starburst designs, patterns or left natural.

Clients want exclusivity. They are tired of that standard look you see everywhere: same old, same old, in dark muted colors.”

Made-to-measure custom furniture which fits perfectly into your home and design can showcase the homeowners’ artwork, exterior views and interior architecture. Custom furniture solutions are ideal for:

• building limitations such as limited elevator access and narrow stairwells can be overcome by custom modular pieces that are designed to accommodate building restrictions
• multi-purpose rooms that need furnishings to perform double-duty for work and entertaining
• vast spaces that require overscaled furnishings
• furniture designed to showcase art, antiques or views
• eco-friendly homeowners with specific materials or manufacturing requirements

Kevin has designed custom furniture and lighting for dozens of interior design projects, here are some of his favorite custom furniture designs.
