Vonnegut/Kraft

Vonnegut/Kraft is a New York design studio created by Katrina Vonnegut and Brian Kraft. Vonnegut took her B.F.A. in furniture design at the Rhode Island School of Design in 2009, while Kraft is a self-taught furniture designer and maker who graduated from New York University in 2000 with a B.A. in fine arts and English literature.

The studio designs furniture, lighting, objects and spaces with close attention to detail, materiality and sculptural form, working from the principle that good design elevates collective human experience. Pieces are produced in small editions or made to order in the duo’s workshop in Chatham, New York, balancing technological manufacturing with hand craftsmanship. The work has been exhibited internationally and featured in the New York Times, T Magazine, Elle Decor and Wallpaper.
