been working on a few new lamps recently in between different projects. And I call this one Moa toes. The Moa was a native bird of New Zealand and became extinct around about the 15th century I believe. It was similar to an emu but much bigger and also flightless.

Grow Cnc
I’ve been wanting to get more an
involved in cnc-ing, and what cnc machines can provide for the future of my business practice and processes and saw this article in wired magazine.
michael warren design has developed this portable cnc machine. And it’s green, comes in a flight case, on the surface looks pretty well made and looks quick to set up. Here it is in action….
Coat hooks
Make a few of these recently. The hooks are made from 20x6mm flat bar bent in a vice. Shaped and softened the ends to stop wear on clothes and then fixed to a slightly gnarled piece of oak with raised and countersunk, slotted wood screws. Inspired by old school gym locker room hooks.
Here are some others using painted truck rope hooks
Pavillion East
Pavillion East is a collaboration between us (re-fuze) and the LFP, for the trampery, Netil house and space studios. And as part of the London Design Festival.
The brief was to create a large wooden box, that on the surface looks pretty ordinary, but opens out to reveals a user friendly space for local artists and designers to showcase their many talents.
The build was an adventure, and the result, quite satisfying. See the video attached for more about it…..
LFP re-fuze interview
Alastair from The Living Furniture Project came to my workshop and shot this interview with cameraman Nick Worpole to talk about my designs for the Emerald collection.
