- About
Nathan Sheu is a furniture designer and fabricator whose work integrates traditional craft with digital fabrication and ecological design. A graduate of California College of the Arts with a BFA in Furniture Design and minors in Industrial Design, Ecological Practices, and Computational Practices, Nathan’s practice is rooted in a deep respect for materiality and the natural world. Whether through form, function, or living systems, his work often invites interaction with nature — reflecting a desire to blur the boundary between the built environment and organic life. He brings experience in shop fabrication, CAD modeling, and studio leadership to his thoughtful, hands-on approach to design.
