Meet the resident designer for ENGAGE Art Fair 2018

Since its establishment in 2001, vonsaal design has grown into a multimedia design development firm, including: commercial and luxury residential design, branding strategy and development, full service fabrication shop, and industrial design and fabrication. The vonsaal design office is combined with a 7000-sf fabrication studio, allowing Richard and his talented team to produce designed furniture, fixtures, and art in house with an assembly of talented craftsman.

vonsaal design pairs the conception of spatial development with the ability to manufacture the theorized pieces. Fabricating these pieces with their metal, wood and glass workshop assures quality craftsmanship and leaves the creative process without boundaries.

Von Saal believes everyone deserves to be welcomed into spaces that are as comfortable as they are stimulating. Von Saal looks at every vantage point, angle, and surface; every detail is of the utmost importance in his designs.Independently trained, Von Saal has been building and designing as far back as he can remember. One of his first memories is sitting on the curb on a hot day in front of his house in Vallejo, not even four years old, the heat of the summer sun had melted the tar on the street so that it moved like clay. He pushed the globs into mountains, made the bubbles into futuristic dome homes, added some plants and created a city. And while his materials and scales have grown over the years, he's been doing the same ever since.
