Biography
Background
Christian Woo was born in Madrid in 1973 and raised in British Columbia, Canada. Zanotta describes him as a self-taught designer and craftsman whose work is shaped by the scale and tranquillity of the Pacific Northwest forest.
Craft and studio
His grandfather's dedication to woodworking encouraged an early interest in the craft. Woo established his studio in 2006, keeping design and fabrication in close contact throughout the making process. This continuing contact means the studio follows its furniture from the design stage through fabrication.
Approach
The studio centres its work on timeless modern design and careful execution. Zanotta states that Woo's work has been shown in North America and Europe, and that he has worked with the company since 2025.
