“The art of design to me is the balance of texture, scale, color and light”
                                                                                - Gary Gibson

Gary Gibson is an L.A. based interior designer, artist, and product designer. Having never been able to work within the confines of traditional design or traditional offerings, Gary has forged his own unique path with an approach from the artistic angle; creating spaces that invite, excite and envelop the user.

    A native Angeleno, Gary studied at UCLA’s School of Interior Design and opened his own full service residential and commercial design firm in 1981. His aim is to create interiors that are timeless and classic but at the same time comfortable and usable, forming “spaces that are not just to be looked at.” Contrasting surfaces, colors, and textures that excite the eye are always the goal. Gary, an accomplished artist in his own right, applies this attitude to his artwork as well. Radical colors, and unusual textures and materials are trademarks of the dynamic pieces he creates.

    That combination of designer and artist seems to be working. Since opening his doors in the early 80’s, the demand for Gary’s design aesthetic has grown. Now a renowned designer, his work encompasses residential and commercial spaces in California, Montana, Utah, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New York, and Santa Fe, New Mexico. His art is part of many private residential and commercial collections and he is currently working on several pieces for both residential and commercial installations throughout the country. Eight years ago, Gary launched Gibson Studio, a collection of high-end furniture shown in the L.A., Chicago and New York markets. The line incorporates his personal and design aesthetic, utilizing such classic metals as bronze and stainless steel; woods from walnut to mahogany; and upholstered pieces that provide the perfect combination of comfort and unique design .To expand on Gary’s belief that all products are necessary elements to create a comfortable environment, he has also designed a collection of Tibetan rugs.

    To share his experiences over the years, Gary opened Gibson STUFF design studio and lifestyle showroom. The LA space showcases his custom furniture pieces and artwork, the artwork of up and coming artists, as well as gifts, accessories and unique found objects. Gary created the space as “the perfect opportunity for me to expose the ‘man off the street’ to design typically reserved for my private clientele.”

    Gibson Studio has been featured in Architectural Digest, Angeleno, Veranda, and Preservation Magazines. His interiors have appeared in California Homes, Southern California Home and Garden, Celebrity Bedroom Retreats, Comfort Colors, and Eclectic Style. His artwork has appeared in Retro Modern and Living Rooms Magazine, as well as featured in a variety of films and television productions.
