John Brevard is an American designer, architect, artist / sculptor, investor, developer, and entrepreneur. Brevard is the Creative Director, Chairman, and Co-Founder of the Six Senses Ossura Valley in Iceland.
In 2007, Brevard started his namesake lifestyle brand, which includes accessories, furniture, art, architecture, design, and sculpture. His products can be found at various retail stores and galleries around the world. In 2015, Brevard launched the Thoscene customization platform. Thoscene is an online parametric modeling platform that utilizes biominetic structures and astrological algorithms to create unique forms (sculpture, furniture, jewelry, architecture, etc.) inspired by the user's inputs (date, time, location of birth).
Brevard is a member of the Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA) and his work has been featured in publications around the world from Vogue to Forbes and Vanity Fair.
Inspired by principles of natural order, each creation by John Brevard is symbolic of the inseparable relationship of the past to the whole, and in addition inspired by sacred geometries, patterns in nature, and alternate dimensions of consciousness.
The way that we perceive the world is a function of our state of consciousness; such structures unfold in a developmental sequence, from complete unconsciousness at one end of the spectrum, through the various levels of egoism, existentialism and transpersonalism, all the way to complete consciousness or enlightenment at the other end of the spectrum. This applies to all scales of development, from the maturation of an individual organism to the evolution of a species as a whole.
This is exactly what Brevard intends to communicate through these works. Inspired by a deep ecological awareness and transpersonal experiences beyond the realm of ordinary consciousness, he uses architectural design to depict his own stage of self-understanding and to point the way to an integrated world culture.
Centuries ago, there was an emphasis on the development of “spiritual spaces.” As human consciousness develops further, we will see a reemergence of this architecture that will elevate the human frequency and realign humans with natural order and hyper-dimensional realities. This new architecture will be a direct reflection of this great shift in consciousness which is beginning to occur now. These designs will consider the implications of human bioenergy, electromagnetism, astrology, earth energy, sacred geometries (fractals), sustainability, and the sacred traditions of Feng Shui and Vastu Shastra.
Hopefully we can create spaces that will help align sentient beings with natural order, hyper-dimensional realities, and our highest selves.
John Brevard applies his background in architecture and multidisciplinary arts to create pieces that are visually appealing, conceptually rich, and sustainable for the environment. Inspired by principles of natural order, each creation is symbolic of the inseparable relationship of the past to the whole. A keen proponent of sustainability, Brevard’s handcrafted sculptural furniture and jewelry aims to celebrate ancient materials natural to our earth.
All pieces are extracted in a sustainable manner with the utmost care. The petrified wood used in Brevard’s works have solidified from trees into stone over hundreds of millions of years. With our skilled team of excavators, they carefully dig around each piece with care. We spend weeks with the designer cutting and polishing a single piece. Each piece of petrified wood in Brevard’s collection has a unique color, pattern, and grain. Therefore, each piece is truly unique.
Brevard’s work also uses zinc, as it plays an essential role in the biological processes of all humans, animals, and plants. Zinc can be recycled indefinitely without loss of properties and quality, but also plays an important role during the end-of-life phase by reducing energy use, lowering emissions, and minimizing waste disposal. In Brevard’s pieces, zinc provides high structural integrity and outstanding corrosion resistance. A thin layer of resin is applied to the table to seal the zinc and enhance comfort for the skin.
