Canadian Designer Spotlight: Brent Comber

Posted on Friday, 30 December 2016


Brent Comber   is an  innovative  Canadian furniture
maker  who uses local woods to produce a variety of designs.  I first became aware of his work through his Alder series.  He dries and fastens alder branches and then carves the piles
into cubic shapes. By combining organic materials with geometric lines
he produces furniture with a very dynamic aesthetic. I particularly like
the idea of using alder – a sustainable wood- that growns like a weed
in most places in Canada.  My husband is always battling alder bush growth near our summer house in Newfoundland. Alders grow quickly  into dense stands and left alone they will overtake an area.

54 inch Alder disk at White Horses Spa
This  54” Alder Disk  hung in  White Horses Spa at Doonbeg Golf Lodge,  Ireland.  While the same materials used in Comber’s furniture pieces are used in the disk, the viewer is 
engaged in a different way, looking  directly at the patterns and
rhythms  that emerge
at eye level. The piece is convex in shape and the light changes depending on time of day and the viewing angle similar to the way the light is filtered in a forest.  
Baumkuchn Cafe, Tokyo, “log cake”
In German, Baumkuchn translates literally as “tree cake” or “log
cake”. This European dessert is also popular in Japan, and is the namesake for this cafe in Tokyo.  The 120 foot feature wall, texturally stunning and  simplistically beautiful, serves as a cohesive element in the design of this small space.
