About

Mike Randall
"Mike Randall Design"

Mike Randall is a Red Seal endorsed designer-maker who is proudly based in Victoria, British Columbia. A master of wood-bending, Mike combines complex traditional craft with contemporary and minimalist forms, resulting in refined pieces that spark wonder and joy in both residential homes and commercial spaces.

Primarily working with those residing or creating projects on Vancouver Island and Metro Vancouver, Mike revels in designing products that are uniquely suited to your taste and space, and that tell a personal story that customers can recount for years to come.

Mike Randall Design fosters a philosophy that if we look after our immediate environment, global issues will become easier to manage. With that in mind, Mike only uses non-toxic glues and finishes, which he affectionally dubs as ‘home-friendly’, and endeavours to use sustainably sourced American hardwood in all his pieces.

About the Founder:
Currently residing in British Columbia with his wife and two children, Mike Randall was born in the Cotswolds in the UK. Prior to launching Mike Randall Designs (formerly known as ‘Kurva’) in 2012, Mike gravitated towards an array of outdoor-based jobs – from forest manager to running whale watching vessels – until he discovered he had a natural talent for working with wood whilst on shore leave during his time on tugboats.

In 2010, Mike decided to hone this talent by studying ‘Fine Furniture’ at Camosun College in Victoria. It was here he uncovered a real love of problem solving through design, as well as making complex ideas look refined – taking inspiration from the clean aesthetics of contemporary European designers.

Proudly neurodiverse, Mike credits his ability to create boundary-pushing forms to his non-linear, dyslexic thinking; “We see flaws in design that no one else sees.” Known for his contemporary approach to traditional craft, Mike is inspired by forms and shapes from both the natural world and urban landscape. His ‘red thread’ is a meticulous attention to detail, a passion for craft, and a genuine desire to create something his customer will love for a lifetime.
