A Day in the Life of Brendan Ravenhill
This month’s Designer Dailies takes a peek into the working life of Los Angeles-based designer Brendan Ravenhill. The designer, who was born on the Ivory Coast and spent summers on the coast of Maine, studied sculpture at Oberlin College and Industrial Design at RISD. He fell in love with building things when he was a boy, helping his father with carpentry projects. He has collaborated in the construction of a timber frame barn as well as the construction of eight boats, and spent a year as an apprentice welder. It's no surprise, then, that Ravenhill finds his inspiration in the functional beauty of working tools. Let's see how he spends his day.
