Kiel Mead, Jewelry and Furniture Designer

July 4th, 2010 | by admin |
coolhunting asked:


A Pratt graduate who cut his teeth in the Brooklyn design scene, jewelry and furniture maker Kiel Mead represents the next generation of New York designers. Taking inspiration from such disparate sources as everyday objects (car keys, chewing gum, retainers) and Catholic iconography (Saint Sebastian, crucifixes), his work mixes irreverence with first-rate craftsmanship. In this video, we visit his Brooklyn studio where he shows us his work and walks us through his thought process. We also head to Brooklyn’s renowned design outpost, The Future Perfect, to see his show with German design duo 45 Kilo called “Cleanliness is Next to Godliness.”

      I don’t know if I like his designs or not really, but I appreciate how he can just sort of “have a gum chewing party,” and get a piece out of it. That’s an interesting attitude that I sometimes wish I had more of.

      An artist hes reinventing things and in quite bad manner creating kitsch.

      Ugh man, this guy’s stuff reeks. Just another pretentious wannabe genius. All he’s missing are his square framed glasses.
