Biography | Jordan Keaney is a dynamic furniture and homeware designer based in London, celebrated for pushing the boundaries of materiality and design. From his East London studio, Keaney experiments with striking textures, bold colours, and unexpected finishes to create pieces that blur the line between art and function. His work champions the idea that furniture should not only serve a purpose but also make a statement, transforming into sculptural art when not in use. Driven by themes of texture, juxtaposition, and inclusivity, Keaney’s designs invite curiosity and interaction. He rebels against the traditional notion of 'Please do not touch the art,' instead encouraging tactile exploration as a vital part of experiencing his work. By pairing contrasting materials and finishes, he creates pieces that celebrate diversity—both in form and audience—making his collections as inclusive as they are visually compelling. Keaney carefully balances the form of a design with how animated its surface is. When working with bold, exciting textures, he often applies them to simple, geometric shapes such as cubes. This approach allows the surface to take center stage without overwhelming the overall design, resulting in pieces that feel both grounded and expressive. Keaney’s ethos centers on design as a multi-sensory experience, offering an open invitation to engage with his creations and embrace the beauty of texture and touch. Through his work, he hopes to foster deeper connections between people and the objects that surround them. |
