Ava Chair

Gregory Benson works primarily with wood, approaching the material with patience, care, and close attention. His practice is rooted in respect for the material’s inherent qualities—its grain, resistance, and memory—allowing form to emerge through dialogue rather than imposition.

His long-standing engagement with music informs the rhythm and pacing of his work. Ideas of tempo, repetition, and variation shape a process that balances intuition with structure. Across furniture, lighting, and functional objects, Benson’s pieces reflect a quiet dialogue between material, hand, and use.

Founded in New York in 2018, his studio operates from a Brooklyn atelier where all works are developed through direct, hands-on fabrication. Benson lives and works in New York City.
