Sorcerer, artisan, collector, stylist...Corey Grant Tippin is an amalgam of these disparate and arcane occupations. Not to mention interior decorating's sub-rosa savant.
With a resume spanning three decades, Tippin's creative roots reach back to his days as a Warhol Factory model and actor. His unique genius lies in synthesizing faunal and oceanographic elements with classical French, Georgian, Deco, Mid-Century and Modern furniture periods. Horn, shell and animal print motifs take center stage in many of Corey's found and self-crafted pieces, wood framings dominated by an alternatural palette of celery, ercu, eggshell and sorrel.
Major brands such as Ethan Allen have co-opted Tippin's vision, along with Martha Stewart's television and magazine properties. He's been covered by numerous home & garden publications (Moffly Media's atHome) and featured in Oprah's O At Home Fall 2007 issue.
