I’m Brian Benham, a mixed media artist, bespoke furniture maker, and the founder of Benham Design Concepts, a Colorado-based custom furniture design and fabrication studio. I design and build one-of-a-kind pieces that blur the line between furniture and fine art, working with materials like wood, glass, stone, and metal to create objects that are as beautiful as they are functional.

I’ve spent my life in the trades, chasing the craft across mediums, always designing, always building, always learning. This page is a reflection of that journey. Whether you’re here to commission a piece, pick up woodworking skills, or just see what I’ve been up to, there’s a place for you below. I hope you’ll find what brought you here.

Benham Design Concepts

Custom Furniture and Art

I create beautiful, quality furniture of modern and classic designs. I meticulously design and build each piece to ensure it meets a high standard of design and craftsmanship. It is my hope that when you see one of my pieces, you can’t help but be drawn to it. You will be able to feel how solid the construction is, see the beauty and shape of the design, and let your eyes follow the grain in the wood as you take in its richness and beauty. It will be inviting to the touch and have a sense of quality and poise about it.

Visit Benham Design Concepts to commission your special piece!
