About the artist

(b. 1961, Porterville, California) is a designer renowned for his avant-garde fashion and furniture creations. After studying painting and pattern-making in Los Angeles, Owens launched his eponymous fashion line in 1994. His unique vision - which fuses archaism, modernism and brutalist beauty with classical luxury - quickly gained recognition in the fashion sphere. In 2005, Owens expanded his creative repertoire by introducing a furniture collection. His inspiration is broad-ranging, drawing from 20th-century icons like Le Corbusier, Donald Judd, and Constantin Brâncuși, alongside the aesthetics of California skateparks. Owens’ approach to furniture design is deeply personal, as he describes it: “Making furniture is my version of couture. It’s time-consuming, artisanal work made in limited quantities in rare materials, customized for my favorite client, my better half, the Hun” – referring to his wife and creative partner, Michèle Lamy. His work is characterized by the use of raw, elemental materials like plywood, marble, and moose antlers.
