Ben Ostrander
- At his Parker Street studio since 2009 Ben designs and builds one- off furniture pieces. After 30 years as an architect, he studied at Camosun College in their Fine Furniture Program. His designs are primarily based on a personal aesthetic that stresses structural economy, organic forms, and light humour. Mid-century modern, Scandinavian, and Japanese influences are often visible. Commissioned pieces, which make up about 40% of his work rely on a design brief developed jointly with each client. Primary materials are regional woods, often in combination with limited amounts of metal, glass, leather, and tropical woods. Finishes include: clear satin texture wood, bright analine dyes, and black. Studio visits are by appointment.
