Jonathan Browning is a distinguished American designer who is celebrated for his refined, architecturally inspired lighting and hardware. With a background in interior design and a passion for classical proportions, Browning brings a disciplined, almost neoclassical approach to contemporary design. His work reflects a deep appreciation for precision, materiality, and timeless form.

In 2003, he co-founded Jonathan Browning Studios alongside Marco Heithaus, establishing a workshop dedicated to the meticulous creation of bronze, brass, and glass fixtures. Browning’s design philosophy is rooted in restraint and elegance — a balance between industrial rigor and luxurious simplicity. His pieces often recall early 20th-century design movements like Art Deco and Bauhaus, yet they are unmistakably modern in execution and finish.

“I have two great obsessions: French Beaux Arts classicism and 20th Century industrial design. There is a constant tension between the two in everything I design, whether product or interiors.”
