About Me
I thrive on creativity and exploring new ideas. I love seeing my clients dreams come to life.
I’m Alan HArp
For over 30 years I have worked in furniture design and product development.
I have a MS and BS in Industrial Design from the Georgia Institute of Technology.
Before starting Alan Harp Design in 2010, I was part of a team designing and building custom furniture and products for people with physical disabilities at the Center for Assistive Technology and Environmental Access, I taught furniture design at Georgia Tech and was involved in a variety of research projects related to CNC manufacturing and product design.

The goal is to bring my clients’ ideas into reality as a beautiful, one of a kind piece of art.
I Design and build your dreams
I design and build custom furniture for individuals, big & small companies. My favorite part of my job is creating something that only exists in the brain of my client.
Each new client brings a chance to explore new styles, methods and materials, resulting in a piece as unique as the individual client.
The uniqueness of each client and their ideas is what keeps things interesting and motivating for me to continue creating beautiful pieces.
