Stefan Dobrianov

Hi there! Here I want to show my unique art, something never done before!

My name is Stefan Dobrianov. I was born in 1968 in Sofia, the capital of Bulgaria.

After I left my beloved homeland, I lived in several wonderful U.S. states until years ago I landed in Santa Barbara, California…my place. Anyone surprised?

What I bring is a background of seventeen years as a designer and manufacturer of furniture, as the owner of my own company. Some of my chair designs are being produced in Italy and a lot of my furniture creations grace many fine hotels, restaurants, TV studios, casinos and private homes. My experience in manufacturing helps me in working with a variety of materials such as metal, glass, wood, veneer, resin, leather, fiberglass, plastic etc. I love to invent my unique techniques of treating the leather and the different materials, sewing, dyeing, engraving, pyrography, painting, gluing, sanding etc. Also I did all the photography for my site, which is another passion for me.

I have eleven years of professional rowing with a degree from the National Sports Academy. Although this would appear to have nothing in common with art and design, these were the years when I couldn’t stop painting and creating posters, log...
