Kennedy Brown

Kennedy Brown began designing and making furniture in the late 1990s. Inspired by growing up in the cultural melting pot that is Aotearoa, New Zealand, Kennedy’s creations display elements of art, design and craft — as well as free-thinking and experimentation.

Brown has a passion for sustainability and is involved with organisations focused on the reuse and recovery of resources. Intuitively, these influences often underpin his creative process

Do you have a favourite colour? Love all colours but Green has always been a favorite.

How do you take your coffee? milk, no sugar.

Is there something you can’t live without in your studio? Music and at least one pencil

Who is your favourite artist of all time + now? Why? Don't really have an all time favourite. A favourite at the moment is Scott Hansen aka Tycho aka ISO50. Hansen's quote sums it up "I create the music as a soundtrack to the images and the images in turn illustrate the music. I’ve always been drawn to the intersection of sound and imagery and have spent my career trying to create work that seamlessly melds the two."
