EMILY THURMAN
Intro 01
Emily Thurman is a Salt Lake City – and New York – based designer whose practice bridges interior, furniture, and sculptural design. After a decade of conceptualizing bespoke interiors for clients, the inheritance of family heirlooms right before founding her studio in 2022 prompted her to toward a hands-on practice, giving shape to her own creative language.
Collection 02
Her work privileges collaboration over authorship and intuition over predictability, marrying technical expertise with a material-led approach. She works closely with international fabricators and artisans while maintaining a direct, physical engagement with materials like bronze, glass, and wood. This collaborative making – a dialogue between mind, body, and material – embraces the inherent unpredictability of the materials themselves and the dynamic alchemy of her partnerships, allowing ideas to evolve into tangible form. Emily’s furniture and lighting embody a deeply personal inquiry: a practice that gives form to her own visions and integrates her intimate narratives within each piece.
Interiors 03
Emily’s furniture practice works in direct tandem with her interior projects, allowing custom pieces to be conceived alongside the spaces they’re designed for. This integrated approach makes room for one-of-a-kind works within her interiors and opens the door to collaborations with artists and designers on commissions specific to each project. With residential work spanning coast to coast, Emily continues to expand her architectural range, encouraging clients to slow the pace of curation in favor of thoughtful, layered environments—ones shaped by vintage finds and custom elements that carry personal meaning. As she puts it “nothing of value is rushed”.
