Handcrafted Art Furniture by Nico Yektai in Sag Harbor, NY
Since 1995, I have dedicated myself to creating unique, handcrafted art furniture that merges sculptural innovation with functional design. My studio in Sag Harbor, New York, serves as the foundation for exploring materials like wood, concrete, and glass, resulting in one-of-a-kind pieces that reflect both artistic vision and technical mastery. Trained in both art and craftsmanship, I approach each project with a commitment to pushing boundaries while maintaining the integrity of traditional techniques. My work has been exhibited in prestigious venues such as the Guild Hall Museum and the Parrish Art Museum, solidifying my reputation as a leader in contemporary furniture design.Every piece I create is signed and numbered, emphasizing its individuality and connection to my artistic evolution. From modern benches to custom commissions, my furniture transcends conventional expectations, offering clients a blend of aesthetic boldness and practicality. The Hamptons community, where I have lived and worked for decades, continues to inspire my creative process and deepen my ties to the local and national art scenes.
