Nathaniel (Nate) Ivill-Weiner

Furniture and Product Designer

My philosophy is rooted in creating purposeful designs that are both innovative and approachable.

About

I’m Nathaniel Ivill-Weiner, a designer from New York City with a focus on furniture and home product design. I believe design is at its best when it is purposeful, approachable, and interactive. From sketching and prototyping to hands-on fabrication, I love the process of making. My projects include chairs, storage fixtures, and meditation fountains, each exploring form, material, and human interaction. I am currently designing a side table with sliding doors, pots with water wicks, and a custom front desk for a new home design store opening soon.

I also have experience restoring antique Japanese furniture and practicing kintsugi pottery repair, where I shared my passion for material and craftsmanship with others. Throughout my work, I am driven by the belief that design can elevate the home through elegance and function while transforming everyday objects into meaningful, interactive experiences. My goal is to help people cut through daily life and reconnect with the objects, spaces, and rituals that surround them.
