Henry Merker designs furniture and décor in Philadelphia, PA. His work draws inspiration from objects of antiquity and supernatural concepts of order, producing forms that channel the cryptic and the mundane in careful proportion.
Henry holds a BS in Product Design from Drexel University and is currently represented by design collective DUDD HAUS. He has honed his skills in artist residencies at Anderson Ranch Arts Center, The Museum for Art in Wood, and Pocosin Arts School of Fine Craft.
His commissions are open for custom interior and gallery projects. Contact Henry via email at studio@henrymerker.com or via Instagram @henry.merker.
