Biography

Tom Robinson Studio is an award-winning design practice, creating editioned products and furniture. The studio's designs have been specified by Vitra, stocked by Aram and featured in exhibitions across Europe and Asia. Directed by Tom Robinson, the studio aims to create products that positively evolve our every-day lives, by merging simplicity and craft with purpose.

Each product created by Tom Robinson Studio, is the result of close collaboration between the designer and select specialist fabricators in the United Kingdom. By working locally, Tom Robinson can adapt his design process and vision, to suit the expertise and techniques of each fabricator – whether that be creating vases and accessories from 3D printed bioplastics, or an outdoor furniture collection from cast concrete. This collaborative and local approach to production means each piece from Tom Robinson Studio is carefully designed, manufactured and tested.

Recently, Tom Robinson has won the iF Design Award, the Wallpaper* Magazine Design Award and been nominated for ‘Seating Design of the Year’ at the Dezeen Awards. Following his debut exhibition at EDIT Napoli, Tom was featured by Elle Decor Italia as ‘ The very young and new promise of international design’. His design work has since been featured by Wallpaper* Magazine, Elle Decor, Monocle, Disegno, the Financial Times, Architectural Digest and many more publications.
