Tel: 0208 3611061

Web: www.hybrid7.co.uk
Contact: Chris Duffy

My design approach is in part conceptual but also draws influence from materials and processes. I am inspired by the combination of images from the natural environment and three-dimensional products.
A degree in 3-Dimsensional design and working as a furniture maker have lead me to design products that are versatile, and designed to enhance the atmosphere/mood of their setting. I aim to make an impact whilst remaining subtle.
The Glo-range launched in Milan, combines the tactile intuitiveness of the artisan where the concept, attributes and textures of the materials and the diffusion of light, meet.
