“NEVER FELT SO GOOD.”  MODERN FURNITURE DESIGNER, DAMIAN VELASQUEZ, PREVIEWS HIS NEW LINE OF FURNITURE THAT MAKES INNOVATIVE USE OF FELT.

Form meets function as striking compositions are visualized and created by modern furniture designer Damian Velásquez.  His latest creation, the “Never Felt So Good” Dresser is an exciting blend of brushed steel, wood and felt!  Irresistible to touch, this dresser is making a statement with its finely crafted steel frame combined with drawers and panels that are clad in a classic grey felt.  The dresser’s design is a reinvention of his now popular, “Don’t Fall Down” dresser that in and of itself is already a break-through design with its off-kilter drawers.

Thoroughly innovative and modern – Velásquez knows he’s hit on something totally different with his “Never Felt So Good” Dresser.  “I’ve been really intrigued with boxes and drawers that manipulate space.  I wanted to push that structure further by adding texture and felt seemed like a natural choice.  It’s warm and fuzzy but really modern and clean at the same time.  I really think my customers will enjoy this new take.”

A native New Mexican and artist since the age of ten, Velásquez has manipulated his skills as a welder and jewelry maker into his passion of creating modern furniture.  He conceives timeless designs that have drawn a clientele that goes well beyond New Mexico’s boundaries.

His furniture line includes beds, tables, barstools, chairs, buffets, desks and dressers. All of his forms are clean and uncomplicated in a polished, elegant style.
