BDDW

Surface acting as spatial structure.

BDDW is an American furniture and design studio founded by Tyler Hays, known for handmade pieces that emphasize craftsmanship, material integrity, and understated form. Working primarily with solid wood, leather, stone, and ceramics, the studio produces tables, cabinets, mirrors, and lighting that feel both earthy and refined.

Each piece carries the marks of process—joinery, grain, burnishing—reflecting a commitment to slow, meticulous making. Surfaces are finished with natural oils or pigments that highlight variation rather than conceal it. Hardware is often forged or cast in-house, extending the sense of unified craft.

BDDW’s aesthetic merges Shaker restraint, American craft traditions, and contemporary minimal design. Proportion and scale are carefully calibrated, resulting in furniture that feels grounded yet quietly expressive.

Beyond furniture, the studio produces ceramics, textiles, and artworks that further articulate its world. Showrooms are staged as immersive environments where objects are arranged with photographic precision.

Over two decades, BDDW has influenced a generation of designers seeking authenticity, longevity, and natural materials in contemporary interiors.
