Minimalist Design Language
A refined interpretation of Brutalist aesthetics—raw, grounded, and materially expressive and strong use of geometric repetition, negative space, and weight.

May Furniture is a Brooklyn-based design studio renowned for its architecturally inspired, handcrafted furniture and sculptural objects. Founded in 2012 by Travis James, the studio merges traditional craftsmanship with modernist aesthetics, producing original pieces that are both functional and artistically expressive.
About the Brand
Architectural, Sculptural Forms
May Furniture is known for its bold, monolithic silhouettes that blur the line between furniture and art and pieces often resemble miniature architecture, with a focus on form, mass, and shadow.
Design with Conceptual Depth
Travis James approaches furniture as functional sculpture each design often stems from a conceptual or emotional root, not trend-driven and designs feel timeless but emotionally resonant, adding a sense of stillness and presence to a space.
