About

Henry Merker is a woodworker and furniture designer based out of Philadelphia, PA. His work intersects the cryptic and the mundane, using wood as a medium to pursue rare shapes. Drawing inspiration from a lifelong fascination with the unknown, Henry interprets the chaos of the natural world through pattern and geometry. In his studio practice, Henry balances the precision of CNC-routing with the looseness of hand-carved details to build a formal language that is abstract, yet controlled.

Henry is currently represented by design collective DUDD HAUS and American Design Club . He is also a current Artist-in-Residence at Pocosin Arts School of Fine Craft in Columbia, NC.
