Brian Ogan specializes in the interior design of modern spaces. He assesses not only the space, but also the person living in it. He takes every design element seriously, and the result is a highly personalized and contemporary look that meets the client's lifestyle.

Brian walks into a room and instantly gives it life, explained Hansine Pedersen Goran, a client who has furnished four homes with Brians assistance. His ability to select pieces that match the harmony, functionality and personality of a space is unmatched.

Brian enjoys sharing the principles of modern design, teaching clients how to organize, de-clutter and pare down to a few beautiful yet well-made basics. They, in turn, typically feel a wonderful sense of freedom which extends beyond furniture and into the rest of their lives.

With over 15 years of design experience, ranging from small urban lofts to coastal vacation homes, Brian incorporates the modern lines and angles of contemporary spaces into his work. He is not afraid to tackle problem areas that other designers typically avoid. Importantly, Brian develops a strong rapport with his clients by listening carefully to their needs and giving them honest, straightforward design advice.

Best of all, once a design plan has been created, Brian provides his clients with access to the greatest modern resources available through The Magazine, the modern furniture store he co-founded in 1990 in Berkeley, California. The store and website, www.themagazine.info, carry the largest selection of modern furniture and accessories from classic design pieces to exclusive product lines from Italy, Germany and Holland.

Brians design projects have been featured on The Genuine Article with Gordon Elliott (Fine Living), The Christopher Lowell Show (Discovery), and the Morning Show on KNTV (NBCís affiliate in the San Francisco Bay Area) as well as profiled in the San Francisco Chronicle, Oakland Tribune, Santa Rosa Press Democrat, Outside Magazine, and Decorating Spaces. His modern design tips have been published in newspapers and magazines throughout the country.
