Henry Merker (Philadelphia, b. 1996) designs experimental home goods in pursuit of rare shapes - forms that question conventionality and reveal the beauty of wood through its versatility. His practice involves a hybrid approach to woodworking using a combination of traditional and digital fabrication techniques.

In addition to producing collections for local Philadelphia galleries such as Commonweal and Dudd Haus, Henry has refined his practice through artist residencies at The Museum for Art in Wood (Philadelphia, PA), Anderson Ranch Arts Center (Snowmass, CO).
