When designing an object I try to search for a balance between material and purpose; I imagine the person using it, the space around that object and how it would fit into their lives. I consider the best objects to be ones you don’t notice but always use.

Workspace is a system of joints designed to an industry-standard specification. It allows people setting up a design studio or ‘workspace’ to involve themselves actively within local industry, creating their ideal working space.

Workspace is a place that can grow; it will grow at the same pace as you and become your closest companion throughout your career.
