About
Eric established Eric Homan Design, LLC in 2017 to pursue his passion for authentic furniture design. His career includes in-house design positions with Restoration Hardware, McGuire Furniture and Frontgate.
It was at Restoration Hardware, where his design work for the bath and lighting categories turned his focus to design details and sensitivity to scale. At McGuire, Eric worked within this process and gained first hand knowledge from the artisans and craftsmen hand building the furniture. With this insight into the art and craft, he drove McGuire’s vision and brand for both indoor and outdoor furniture, specifically creating the McGuire Kitchen Collection.
He garnered this experience into his role as Director of Design for Frontgate, with the intention of expanding Frontgate’s proprietary outdoor furniture offering. In his tenure with Frontgate, he would create 23 signature outdoor collections. In 2014, he was promoted to Senior Director of Design, leading and executing the design direction for Porta Forma, Frontgate’s newest modern brand. Eric’s extensive travel overseas enabled him to refine designs, work with cross functional teams, and ensure the integrity of the final product.
Eric’s works have been featured in Elle Decor, Architectural Digest. Luxe and Dwell magazine. A graduate of The University of Wisconsin, Stout, Eric received a degree in Industrial Design. He resides with his family in Crozet, VA.
