Barry Llewellyn was born in Dublin, Ireland in 1998, and currently lives and works in Rotterdam, the Netherlands. He received his BA from Design Academy Eindhoven in 2022. His work exists at the intersection between design and sculpture.

Barry’s approach is heavily informed by the natural world - how materials, organisms and forces exist in a state of balance and interdependence. His process follows a similar logic, allowing materials to behave according to their own properties - guiding rather than dictating form.

This approach extends to how his work is positioned in time. Traditional techniques such as stone carving and ceramics are used alongside industrial and digital processes such as flocking and 3D printing. Natural materials sit alongside synthetic ones, forming logical paths and unexpected harmonies.

Barry’s process is rooted deeply in hands-on, material exploration. To make this possible, almost all processes are carried out in-house. Metal casting, glass fusing, plasma cutting and welding, among others, move freely within the studio, allowing him to play with materials in a light and unrestricted way.

His work exists in a number of private collections and hotels, as well as in publications such as DAMN magazine, Elle Decoration, New York Times, TL Mag and Architectural Digest.

The Polyphony series is represented by The Frozen Fountain in The Netherlands, and the Lalalamp series by Gallery Scene Ouverte in France. He has worked with a number of galleries in Europe and the Middle East, including Objects with Narratives, Atelier Ecru Gallery, GOOD SESSIONS and Atrum respectively.

His work has been shown in commercial fairs, such as PAD Paris, Design Miami, Melbourne Design Fair and Collectible Brussels, as well as non commercial settings such as Huidenclub Rotterdam and Polaris centre d’art. Art / design weeks include Rotterdam Art Week, Vienna Design Week, Dutch Design Week, Milan Design Week and GLUE Amsterdam.
