My name is Michael Nyman and I am a furniture designer and maker from Kingsford, Michigan. I am currently earning my B.F.A. in furniture design from the Savannah College of Art and Design. I have been interested in making things from a young age. I strive to make with excellent craftsmanship and honest materials. I love to work with my hands and make things with functionality at its core. I am proficient in many processes such as welding, ceramics, and wood carving.
I like to create simple designs that accentuate the natural beauty of the materials used. The ability for a piece of furniture to last and remain functional for many years is very important to me, as well as the ability for the piece to be nomadic and move with you. I believe that all furniture should be made with natural materials and with the intent of lasting a lifetime.
