Nolan Talbot-Kelly is a designer and artist living and working in Vancouver B.C. on the unceded land of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), and səlilwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) peoples.
Nolan is a designer and artist drawing inspiration from architectural and utilitarian details that surround us but are often overlooked. He designs and makes furniture, lighting and propositional objects. Nolan’s practice often prioritizes designing with things that already exist in our industrialized world and giving them new life by playfully changing the context within which they are used and experienced. His process is driven by self imposed limitations often prioritizing practicality, in attempts to understand how restriction influences the making and final results.
