Ben Gabriel - Furniture Design

About

Gabriel Furniture is a family business, headed by Ben Gabriel and his son Joshua, and is based in Galway, the west of Ireland since 1996.

Originally from The Netherlands, Ben Gabriel trained and worked in the UK and Australia before he and his family settled in Ireland.

Joshua graduated from Letterfrack Furniture College in 2011 and has worked in various workshops both here in Ireland (Joseph Walsh) and Switzerland before joining the business in Galway.

The company specialises in designing/making furniture for batch-production and individual projects for private and corporate clients. The designs are often developed by using geometry in an innovative way, which gives it their “playful” character. Individual projects are designed and created by working closely with the client to provide them with innovative and inspirational furniture.

European and native hardwoods are the main ingredient used, mixed with glass and steel, to create the designs in our own workshop.

"Good Design is achieved, not when there is nothing more to add, but when there is nothing left to take away"
