It’s all in the details.

Marra’s visible notches offer a clever method of assembly while adding a subtle, familiar touch to its distinctive design.

Made in Britain from responsibly sourced plywood with a durable top, recycled steel frame and optional integrated power.

Wall’s End is a little something we’re developing with @h_e_i_r_l_o_o_m - mobile partitions for spaces that don’t sit still.

Thank you to @iconeye for featuring @proofofconcept.show and my work in this month’s issue, designed in collaboration with @odduniverse.xyz for Milan Design Week.

Now that the @proofofconcept.show exhibit has closed, I wanted to say I’m super grateful for the response and the opportunity to show my work at @aramgalleryldn with such a great team and to be shown alongside such talented designers whom I’ve admired for a long time!

Thank you to all the team at Proof of Concept and Aram for all your hard work towards the exhibit and for supporting my work.

Modo Container, A translucent resin container sought to challenge the traditional ‘junk drawer’ archetype. Instead of concealing this clutter, the design utilises the translucency of the material to reframe these objects onto something to be celebrated.

The @proofofconcept.show exhibition has come to an end — and the response has been amazing! Really grateful for the opportunity to show my work at @aramgalleryldn alongside a group of talented designers in a beautiful space.

The project — Mould in Flux
Explores how glass reacts to heat and wood over time. Instead of trying to control the material, it’s about letting the process shape each piece — creating something unique in every glass blowing. Each object becomes part of its own timeline.

The Torus Vase has been in Aram’s shop, and I’m so happy with the feedback and sales.

Big thanks to @designwanted and @iconeye for featuring the show, and to everyone who came by — the team, curators, and everyone involved in #proofofconcept3

Glen Aray TRS, our Scottish glen retreat concept, presented at the Aram Gallery as part of Proof of Concept: Mould.

The work brings together model studies and material tests to examine how casting translates from model to building, placing making and construction in close dialogue.

At the centre is a 1:20 micro-concrete feature gable, developed with Spaceplay. Using rigid, flat-pack timber shuttering rather than silicone, the model is assembled, poured, vibrated and dismantled, operating as a true fragment — holding grain, edge definition and weight at scale.

Alongside this, material studies with specialist manufacturer Bespoke Concrete extend the work toward full-scale realisation, testing how board-marked and smooth surfaces can coexist through variations in shuttering, texture, hue and aggregate exposure. Crushed rock from the partial demolition of the existing repeater station is intended to be reintroduced within future casts, establishing continuity between past and future.

The work invites a closer reading of how architecture is formed through temporary frameworks that leave lasting traces.

On view until 18 April.

A brilliant evening at ‘Proof of Concept’ hosted by @aramldn in their (incred) WC1 gallery space.
Hearing designers and makers talk through their process is always inspiring — and a great reminder that the pieces we specify don’t just appear, they’re years of thinking, testing and refining 🌟
