Welcome to Bearing Studio by Will Kirk, a multi-disciplinary design studio located in Sumter, SC. Our studio uses craftsmanship and innovation to create projects that use the artistry of woodworking mixed with the precision and beauty of architecture. Will studied architecture at the University of Tennessee for three years before finishing his degree at Belmont University in Interior Design with a focus on Furniture Design. He then apprenticed under furniture makers for 3 years combined throughout his studies. As a studio we use this diversity of design to creating quality creations for industry professionals, custom lines in house and for private clients.
Our Story ///
Bearing Design started out as a dream while Will was still in design school. With a blended focus on interior design, furniture, architecture, and woodworking apprenticeships he loved seeing how he could make cool things that crossed over those mediums. He launched the studio originally doing personal passion projects or projects for friends. Bearing Studio has since grown from a dream and casual projects to a multi-disciplinary design studio. We hope each project reflects our desire of excellent design and the joy of truly just making cool things.
