About LSD Gallery
LSD Gallery was founded in 2026 by Liz Swaminathan to celebrate exceptional craftsmanship and champion independent makers across the United States, Europe, and Japan. LSD Gallery may be thought of as a concept store – a place to discover master craftsmen and new ideas, and to foster community through an appreciation of human-ingenuity, traditional craft techniques, and contemporary design.
One-of-a-kind pieces by master craftspeople
Our focus is on promoting work made by independent, skilled artisans. We specifically curate pieces in which beauty is inseparable from utility, expression of technique and materiality is honest, heritage is represented, and environmental responsibility is rigorously observed.
Custom fabrication & commissions
LSD creatively brings together makers, artisans, architects and private clients looking for special pieces and interior details. We support the process from ideation to installation, employing the finest craftspeople in the fields of joinery, metal-work, stone cutting and fine arts.
We look forward to discussing your customization requests and interior projects to determine how we may be able to best support you.
