Antelope 2, designed for Race Furniture, is a modern interpretation of Ernest Race’s iconic 1951 café chair.

Like the original, Antelope 2 uses a wire frame and plywood seat however, the new chair improves upon the original design offering a clean modern aesthetic, increased comfort and better weather resistance thanks to the Becker Belmadur plywood moldings for the seat and back.

All the stationary items are made from standard 18 inch lengths of Ground Flat Stock. This oil hardening steel is normally used by toolmakers as it has a high wear resistance after it has been heat treated, making it ideal for industrial applications such as dies, press tools, punches, gauges, cams, jigs, machine knives and marking devices.

A cunning reinterpretation of the traditional venetian blind which provides a decorative three dimensional effect: Simple and beautiful.

This design was also the winner of Best New Blood at the D& AD New Blood Show, Olympia, London 2006

A conceptual strategic brand collaboration between Sony and Burton to produce a digital camera developed to meet the unique needs of an extreme sport in the cold. The project embraced user focus groups and feedback to ensure a creative yet appropriate design solution.

An exploration of the potential for products to ‘feed’ off one another and exist as parasites in this award winning final year lighting project.
The design was winner ‘Best New Blood’ at the D&AD New Blood exhibition 2008 and was also exhibited at Seoul Design Festival, Korea 2008
