Nurture by Nature

Nurture By Nature is a curatorial design practice founded by Kate Swanson, based in Burlington, Vermont. We run a gallery that presents collectible design and contemporary craft, and bring that same sensibility directly into the interiors of a small number of private clients each year.

The gallery comes first. It leads everything. It is where we find the makers, test ideas, and develop the eye. The studio extends that curatorial intelligence spatially - to rooms, to collections, to the full arc of how a space is built and lived in over time.

We do not separate design from curation. A space conceived by Nurture By Nature is not decorated - it is composed around the work of specific makers whose aesthetic we know deeply and trust completely. The gallery is where you first encounter their work. The interior is where it fully unfolds.
