Ben Grant
Cheril Barber
Ben Grant is a designer and maker whose practice bridges sculptural expression and functional furniture. Drawn to the natural forms, textures, and character of wood, his work explores materiality, craftsmanship, and the ways objects invite human interaction. Each piece balances refined aesthetics with everyday practicality, reflecting both discipline and curiosity.
Based in his workshop in Whaingaroa/Raglan, Ben develops and makes his furniture most of the year while also finding time to teach at the Centre for Fine Woodworking in Nelson. His practice brings together design, craftsmanship, and a deep engagement with the material itself.
