As a material led designer based in London, Huw’s work combines materials with a diverse heritage of processes to enhance not only the material but also accentuate the making method.
Having adopted a hands-on approach to design during his early studies, Huw continued this as a designer-maker while studying 3D Design at the University of Plymouth. The rounded knowledge of materials and making he gained helps to inform his current design process. Huw’s work won the RADO Star Prize 2019 and the inaugural The Conran Shop Design Award in 2019 for his graduate collection from which the Iris Lounge Chair was developed.
