Artist Statement:

I have recently graduated from the University of Central England, where I studied a BA Hons. degree in Furniture Design.
To me furniture design is about designing an object to make tasks easier or more comfortable. The aesthetics of the piece is also important so it can fully be appreciated, even when not in use. I consider what people really need and how they will really use it. My designs try to solve every day problems that occur in today's way of life, rather than simply updating existing ideas.Forms and shapes have always been my inspiration. Organic forms have long been a favourite, although recently 2D symmetrical shapes have had a strong influence. Nature is a source of inspiration not only for its forms, but also for its textures and colours. My designs rarely consist of one material, and I like the contract between man-made and natural materials. If asked for a preferred material, it would be a type of wood as I enjoy working with it and its aesthetics. My choice of material is always made to suit the design. I hope to discover new materials and new ways of using them in the future to widen the possibilities for my designs. I prefer for natural qualities to be shown, but if colours are required I normally choose natural hues such as greens, browns and creams.I would love to put 'haven' into production, but I am also looking for freelance or permanent work.

Explanation of chair:

Haven - for those with small gardens or just a balcony, encouragement is needed to create a personal space to feel relaxed in Haven is designed purely to allow the user to relax, whether through reading or just taking time out of the daily routine. A wide armrest is included for drinks to rest on and the overhang of the back can be leant on offering a variety of relaxing positions.I am at present developing this design into a complete range.
