Kirsten White
Furniture & Environments <>

Kirsten White uses clean lines and clear purpose in her approach to design. A sensibility of considerate hospitality has made White's outdoor teak furniture the preferred choice at some of the world’s most prestigious and discerning spaces. The J. Paul Getty Museum was the first institution to request custom furnishing from White. Since then, her designs have graced locations from London’s Canary Wharf to the 20th Century Fox Studios in Los Angeles.

In addition to furniture, White creates practical and thoughtful product designs. Each design is developed with integrity, and an evident honesty in use of materials and function. White provides exactly what is needed with no excess.

White’s commercial work is informed through active participation in the design community at home and abroad. She is a fueling force behind numerous collective and collaborative projects that provoke, amuse and inspire. White presently teaches design at the Ontario College of Art and Design and Sheridan College in Toronto, where she passes on her respect for materials, process and purpose.
