About Earth Crust Studio

Ben Walton

My love for building started early: my brother and I would build forts in the woods with what we could find in the garage. My TV heroes MacGyver and Bob Villa formed my approach to ingenuity, also informing my product design.

Design for people

Earth Crust was born out of personal necessity. My wife and I needed furniture solutions and were discouraged to find things were either wildly expensive or laminated particle board.The foundry console was a huge discovery: I could create furniture that was within our budget,with local materials, covering all practical bases that had a utilitarian beauty.
