A New American Standard at Canvas

November 30, 2012

Described by many, including the New York Times, as a “master woodworker,” Thomas Ryan Beckman creates everything from kinetic sculptures to fine homes. But it is his collection of new American furniture for Canvas that has long been the apple of our eyes.

Beginning his career as an apprentice to a cabinet maker, Thomas Ryan Barkman further honed his skills and artistry under the tutelage of Rosanne Somerson of RISD as well as woodworker Matthias Pleisnig at the Haystack Mountain School. Since then he has gone on to prestigious collaborations with other artists and brands, including an exclusive collection for Canvas.

Streamlined and modern, Barkman’s pieces none-the-less pay homage to early American design. In keeping with Canvas’ sustainable mission, the collection is all made from local and recycled materials—including pieces of the New York Skyline.
