James Burial

James Burial is an artist and designer of functional and mostly-functional furniture. After studying at ArtCenter College of Design, he established his studio in the stark landscape of the Mojave Desert. There he began to combine biomorphic shapes with simple modern home furnishings, echoing the life and movement hidden in the stillness surrounding him.

James’ most recent work draws from his experience as a neurodivergent - exploring connection, loneliness, longing and otherness. He has shown internationally and has been featured in ELLE UK, ICON, Financial Times and Dezeen, among others. A California native, James now lives and works on the south coast of England.
