Reza Feiz // Phase Design
Award-winning furniture designer Reza Feiz is self-taught, which is unusual in the world of high-end design. Nonetheless, Feiz and his Phase brand have been resoundingly embraced. His work, which began with the signature minimalist cork covered cube chairs called bbc ($2300-2700 at Twentieth on Beverly), has been shown worldwide garnering international accolades and is acquired by such discriminating clients as Tom Ford and Kiehls Since 1851. Although inspired and influenced by mid-century masters Koenig, Neutra, the Eames’, Lautner and Schindler, he instills his works with a more relevant modern edge using technologically advanced ideas.
Employing primarily solid woods, cork, metal and fiberglass to realize his designs, his philosophy of strength through simplicity permeates his collections, which he neatly divides as ‘things humans sit on’ and ‘things objects sit on’. Having been heralded as a designer to watch by discriminating design publications only adds to his drive. Playing his part only too well, former actor Feiz creates new pieces at least once a week and as often as he can.
