The David Alan Collection evolved from blending the great passions of David’s life: his love of art, design, furniture and a long-standing appreciation for third world craft and artistry. From villages in Java, other islands of Indonesia, the Indian subcontinent and elsewhere, he has personally selected each piece in the collection for its beauty, harmony, integrity and soul. The David Alan Collection was the next logical step for the man who has a degree in art, owned a high-end wood business – Cut & Dried Hardwood- for nearly two decades and was once owner of Trios art gallery, which received much acclaim and brought numerous high profile artists to the small town of Solana Beach.
“I’ve been intrigued and inspired by the ingenuity, craftsmanship, balance and human spirit that have gone into the making of those works I have seen and collected.”
Find intricately carved headboards, antique Chinese armoires, Indonesian sleds hand crafted from ironwood, huge slab wood tables, centuries old pottery, functional accessories… the list goes on and on. Bring a taste of South Pacific far East into your home, office or garden with the unique pieces from the David Alan Collection. One of our common traits at David Alan Collection is our love and appreciation of beautiful, soulful objects. We are dedicated to bringing you finely crafted, well designed rare art, furniture and accessories. At the David Alan Collection, we find joy in presenting these pieces and sharing the stories about the works we offer. We hope you are inspired, refreshed and perhaps touched with awe by this rich, eclectic mix of fine craftsmanship. Discover a unique mix of art, accessories and furniture from Asia and the Far East at the David Alan Collection. You could call it Asian fusion, tropical modern or contemporary rustic, but it incorporates contemporary, primitive, European, Nouveau, Deco and rustic works from overseas in an easy blend of styles and eras. Each piece is chosen simply for its beauty, integrity and spirit, not by any formula of style, origin or age. Older pieces are reworked to ensure integrity in construction and finish.
The David Alan Collection houses works from around the Indonesian islands, China and India and will soon include treasures from Vietnam and Thailand. The collection is continually evolving, with an average of one new shipment every other month, always offering a wonderland of rare, beautiful and functional pieces in the 16,000 square foot space that is the David Alan Collection.
