Erika Hardman spent time in the corporate world as a recruiter, but when she began working alongside her partner Liam in their furniture studio, she realized that it was not just a career but a calling. \u201cI would wake up thinking about new possibilities,\u201d she says. \u201cThat\u2019s when it really clicked for me. When something starts running through you like that, you know it\u2019s where your energy belongs.\u201d<\/p>\n

Originally founded in Berlin in 2012, Hardman Design is now based in Brooklyn. Hardman, the company\u2019s creative director, stepped into her role gradually. She remained curious and became more involved in the different aspects of the process, from shaping initial concepts to building the brand.<\/p>\n

Clients treasure the custom hardwood pieces defined by clean lines and sculptural forms. When Hardman receives an impression in her mind, she usually jots down some quick notes, not all of which make sense at first. Then she collects references and screenshots of architecture, natural materials, and travel destinations to put on a physical or digital mood board.<\/p>\n

Hardman finds that this early stage of a project is the most malleable, and the opportunities feel endless. She discusses and filters a design repeatedly until it eventually moves from paper to solid object.<\/p>\n

The collaboration with Liam is still rewarding, even though it happens every day. \u201cDesign has become such a big part of our daily life that we sometimes find ourselves standing in the middle of the street with a measuring tape, talking about proportions or sketching,\u201d she adds. \u201cSome of the best ideas appear in those unexpected moments.\u201d<\/p>\n

Today, Erika Hardman joins us for Friday Five<\/a>!<\/strong><\/p>\n

1. My Dogs Mio & Lue<\/h2>\n

My dogs are a constant reminder of energy and persistence. Their excitement for the smallest things \u2014 a walk, a toy, a patch of sunlight \u2014 is grounding. Watching their curiosity every day is surprisingly motivating. They bring joy and immediacy to life in a way that\u2019s hard to ignore.<\/p>\n

2. Sauna & Cold Plunge<\/h2>\n

Sauna and cold plunge have become a weekly ritual for me. I\u2019m drawn to the architecture of spaces like Othership, with warm wood interiors, soft light, and minimal finishes. The contrast between heat and cold clears my often-busy mind. I always leave feeling calmer and more focused.<\/p>\n

3. Architectural Footwear<\/h2>\n

I\u2019m drawn to objects where the structure is visible. Certain footwear can feel almost like a designed object in its own right. Maison Margiela approaches this through geometry, balance, and subtle details \u2014 the trapezoidal heel on some of their pumps feels almost architectural. Brands like NEOUS explore similar ideas as well, treating footwear from a more sculptural perspective.<\/p>\n

4. The California Desert<\/h2>\n

The California desert has a way of blocking out the noise of the world. The vastness and quiet reset my mind almost instantly. I\u2019m always drawn to its restraint \u2014 muted colors, dry air, and dramatic light. There\u2019s a simplicity to it that feels almost elemental. It\u2019s minimal, raw, and deeply inspiring to me.<\/p>\n

5. Music<\/h2>\n

Music is a constant companion in both my work and life. I tend to gravitate toward electronic music \u2014 especially when I\u2019m working. It creates a steady atmosphere without being distracting and helps me focus for long stretches. The right track can completely shift the mood of a space or a moment.<\/p>\n

Works by Hardman Design’s co-owner and Creative Director Erika Hardman:<\/em><\/h2>\n

L\u00dcNA<\/strong>
\nThe L\u00dcNA bed continues the subtractive design language introduced in the L\u00dcNA collection \u2014 softened edges, rounded transitions, and a restrained silhouette. Sitting low to the ground, the design emphasizes proportion and spatial calm. The curved headboard is sculpted from solid wood boards joined to preserve continuity of grain.<\/p>\n

LELA<\/strong>
\nLELA draws from Danish chair design, focusing on proportion and comfort. Curved wooden armrests and tapered legs create a quiet sculptural form, while the upholstered seat adds softness. The chair is designed for long gatherings around the table.<\/p>\n

KAT Dining Table<\/strong>
\nKAT centers around a strong structural base that gives the table a clear architectural presence. The central column keeps the footprint compact while leaving the surrounding space open for chairs. It\u2019s a simple form that balances stability with a sense of lightness.<\/p>\n

ARLEN<\/strong>
\nARLEN explores circular forms and softened geometry. The flowing silhouettes of the tables and gently rounded edges create an approachable presence that works comfortably in many interiors. The design blends Scandinavian warmth with modernist clarity.<\/p>\n

LULU Sofa<\/strong>
\nThe LULU Sofa pairs soft upholstery with a simple exposed wooden frame. Its curved lines and generous proportions create an inviting place to relax while keeping the overall form visually light. The design balances warmth with a clear structural expression.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
