ABOUT
Garage Goods is the studio workshop of designer and woodworker Brian Kahn.
Located in Portland, OR, Brian specializes in custom furniture design and fabrication.
Brian attended Pratt Institute in Brooklyn with a degree in graphic design. After a move to Portland in 2010, he began working with wood and building furniture for his house. Friends and family began commissioning pieces from him and in 2017, after a 15-year career in graphic design, he turned his full-time attention to woodworking and founded Garage Goods.
The mission at Garage Goods is to work with clients from initial concept through the finishing process, to create modern heirlooms that will integrate beautifully into the daily rhythm of each home or business. Drawing upon his multimedia design background, Brian strives to create thoughtful pieces with a timeless aesthetic. His work process further underscores this intent with the blending of current manufacturing technologies and hand craftsmanship.
Brian was such a breath of fresh air for me to work with. As an interior designer, when I design a space, there are so many moving pieces. It helps to work with someone who views their work as an art and takes pride in their craftsmanship. That is Brian. Besides being super personable, he was able to bring my vision to life with drawings and renderings and give me his expert opinion when choosing the right type of wood species for my project. Needless to say, Brian is my go to woodworker. He has the personality and the skill to make my projects run smoothly. My client's are extremely happy with the final product!

Brian is an outstanding woodworker. His attention to detail from start to finish is what I look for in the makers I work with. He provides renderings and details that are necessary for the decision-making process and also chimes in when a detail I've designed needs tweaking. That is someone who goes above and beyond the requirements of the design. I enjoy working with Brian and will continue to find more custom projects for him!
