Detailed Finishes by Austin Kerr

I’m incredibly proud to share that Architectural Digest included me as a go-to restoration expert in this year’s AD100 Designer Sourcebook.
For anyone in the design world, the AD100 list is the pinnacle and being acknowledged alongside the designers I’ve admired for decades is surreal.

My deepest thanks to Julie Hillman, whose projects and vision have pushed me to bring my absolute best to every piece. Her words in this article mean more to me than she knows.
And thank you to the AD editors for shining a light on the craftspeople behind the work.

I’ve dedicated 27 years to understanding materials, finishes, and the stories embedded in every object. From becoming the official restorer for to collaborating with the country’s most respected designers, this journey has been built one piece, one repair, one challenge at a time.

if we have worked together, I would love to hear about your experience working with me here in the comments!
