This furniture was made by a jazz musician — and designed the way music is made. 🎷🪑

Meet Zach Nestel-Patt, founder of @Ah.Um.Studio (named after a jazz album that shaped how he thinks). After years in professional music—training, expectations, pressure—he started making furniture and something shifted: he was finally creating for himself, not an audience.

And he still designs the way he makes music: intuitively.
One question guides the work: does this feel right?

That’s why his first furniture collection, Jura, feels so alive—full of texture, contrast, and contradiction. No manifesto. No reverse-engineered story. Just a piece that feels right for the moment.

Every year, @wallpapermag introduces their picks for the future icons of design—and this year’s list is looking beyond the usual suspects to celebrate designers whose practice tells a story.

This issue doesn’t simply spotlight talent—it’s expanding who gets recognized beyond the same old institutional pathways.

It’s a reminder that the most compelling work often comes from voices the industry hasn’t always made room for.

Which designers do you think should be on this list? Drop them in the comments. 👇

Welcome to the wonderful world of Zack from @ah.um.studio
Zack is the owner & founder of Ah Um Studio. I was honored to recently spend some time with him at his LA Studio!
If you love gorgeous things then you will surely appreciate Zack’s work 💫
Like so many artists, Zack’s path to furniture design was a unique one.
Watch our reel to find out how he went from being a Jazz musician to founding Ah Um Studio.
* Fun Fact* Ah Um’s name originated from the album name of his favorite bass player Charles Mingus 🎶
We just put one of his coffee tables in our Virginia remodel & she is gorgeous ❤️
Comment below & follow @ah.um.studio if you love his work as much as we do!
