Eric Manigian Studio produces contemporary furniture which combines modern design, a sculptural approach, and master craftsmanship. Works are made with longevity in mind, where design innovation, quality materials and attention to detail are integral components of each piece produced by the Studio.

Eric Manigian Studio was founded in 1999. An artist by training, Eric received a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Sculpture from Pratt Institute. He spent time at Daitokuji Temple in Kyoto before focusing his artistic practice on furniture making. His work is also influenced by contemporary architecture and traditional timber frame architecture, with special interest in the design concepts and construction methods inherent to Japanese temple building. Eric subsequently received a Master of Divinity in Buddhism and Interfaith Engagement from Union Theological Seminary and is a lay ordained Zen Buddhist.
