About me
I’m Ben. I design furniture.
I grew up making things on my Dad’s workbench. Eventually I graduated from Lego and pinewood-derby cars to Architecture school where I developed design skills. To hone my craft I’ve taken several classes at North Bennet Street School in Boston, America’s oldest trade school. Recently, I spent my summer learning from Scotland’s best at The Chippendale International School of Furniture.
Let’s work together to create cool stuff!
What’s with the balloon?
Every piece made by B Aiken Designs is inspected by T Aiken, my father. If the piece meets BAD standards, Tom draws the balloon man indicating it is ready to ship. For years, he has drawn these balloon men on birthday cards - now it is the stamp of approval for all BAD work.
