about us



"Making something look good is not design - that's styling. Design is the orchestration and articulation of a deep appreciation for materials, construction and purpose within a context, beauty is a matter of course."

Brian

Founder and creative director, Brian is a fine artist and industrial designer from Detroit who is settled in London. Brian’s extensive professional career with footwear, performance and lifestyle global brands such as Nike, Lacoste and Converse; and his personal interests have shaped his refined sensibilities for art, design, history and contemporary culture. His ability to sympathetically blend all those elements is what gives his work its unique signature.

Yen

Managing the day-to-day affairs of bkd is co-owner Yen, whose colourful and wide-ranging career in law and financial services in the UK has seen her through some of the toughest criminal cases, to investigating international investment banks, to setting up fintech start-ups. Her passion for art, design and fashion has been nurtured through osmosis from her father who was an architect and mother, a gemologist and jewellery designer.

All our collections are realised in our London-based concept studio dedicated to creating premium lifestyle products - designed, sourced, and made exclusively in United Kingdom. 


With a multidisciplinary approach rooted in art and industrial design, we adopt a contemporary reinterpretation of everyday functional articles into items of desire that embody freedom, longevity and joy.
