Information About

Daniel Kucan




Kucan was born and raised in Las Vegas. Prior to joining EMHE, he began his education in design and carpentry at age seven. Kucan attended New York University , where he added a global perspective to his style and embraced the East Village rock and roll aesthetic of the downtown crowd.

After graduating from NYU, Kucan moved back to California and became the lead designer for Hollywood's Mortise and Tenon. Here, he found a warm home among the trendy Hollywood elite, and he is able to construct and design furniture.

Combining a strong sense of tradition with an urban mentality, Kucan redefines the relationships between line, texture and spatial semblance. He doesn't often use the prosaic. He is also a prolific world traveler, and often gains inspiration from the most obscure sources. This global awareness has instilled in Kucan a tenacious commitment to building in recycled and renewable materials, often resulting in striking compositions of offbeat character.

Kucan loves Chinese martial arts, and he occasionally fights competitively, with often disastrous results! He is currently living with his girlfriend and his two dogs in a Los Angeles Spanish Revival home.
