About dachs-republic
Tony Klipin
Tony Klipin founded dachs-republic in 2017 in Saint John NB, with the intention of building functional pieces of art with repurposed materials.
Tony has always had a keen interest in using his self-taught skills to create art. He often uses cast off furniture or building supplies that he sources from local second hand stores. Tony will sometimes combine these with some very high end and unique woods, to produce individual and exceptional results.
Tony has taken his high commitment to quality and ventured beyond furniture to create art and jewelry. Inspired by the circle of life, he uses several mediums: plaster, paint, wood, steel and resin……. Tony’s works encapsulate all the trauma and triumphs of his life, making them personal and relatable.
Tony has worked closely with designers, Kim Jacobsen Designs, LSAVAGE Design ……, as well as on a client to client basis, on an international level, to fabricate truly one-of-a-kind pieces to the client’s exact specifications.
Tony currently operates his studio/workshop on 1 Rothesay Avenue, open by appointment or if you see his door open! Bring dog treats!
