DAVID WEEKS ARTIST INDEX BIOGRAPHY In 1990, David Weeks graduated from Rhode Island School of Design after studying painting and sculpture. He relocated to New York City where a chance job painting jewelry designer Ted Muehling’s store, led to an apprenticeship. While working under Muehling, Weeks’ interest shifted from fine art to design—in particular, to the idea of infusing functional objects with grace and sculptural style. He started a metal-fabrication shop where he constructed curtain rods, tables and bookshelves for friends, eventually gravitated to lamps. David Weeks Studio was established in 1996, and headquartered in a timeworn factory in Brooklyn’s DUMBO neighborhood. Employing his sculpture background, Weeks developed a line of lights possessing both the clean perfection of machine-made products and the creative freedom of one-of-a kind objects. His custom lighting is marked by uncommon attention to detail and evocative materials: spun aluminum and steel, oxidized metals, nickel-plating, and two-tone powder coated shades. David Weeks also designs furniture, home accessories and toys. PLEASE SELECT: VIEW BIOGRAPHY VIEW IMAGES
