Jenna Graziano

Brooklyn-based furniture designer and woodworker working out of Piscina, a shared studio and workshop in Red Hook run by designer Natalie Shook. Trained in fine woodworking, Graziano combines wood with glass, metal, ceramic, and stone, using techniques including steam bending, stack lamination, and casting to build immersive, sculptural furniture forms. Before woodworking she worked briefly in fashion, and after training she spent time in the studio of designer Minjae Kim. Her pieces often incorporate additional materials such as freshwater pearls, raw cowhide, and abalone veneer, an approach she describes as exploring the point where delicacy meets durability; she has since enrolled in an MFA program in sculpture.
