He's not multi-disciplinary, he's trans-disciplinary. One day he's designing, the next he's sanding.
Christopher Stuart is an artist and designer based in Carmel, IN. His personal work explores the area between art and design, challenging the idea of function. He received his BFA in Furniture Design from Herron School of Art & Design. Chris is also the founder and principal of LUUR, a transdisciplinary design studio and brand, and author of DIY Furniture 1 & DIY Furniture 2, published by Laurence King.
