Prop / 2019 Although visually simple, technical d Prop / 2019 Although visually simple, technical details were the central to making the chair work. These included a mirrored asymmetrical press detail on the steel tubular legs so that they sit inline and still have the ability to fold, a stopper detail hidden within the back hinge, and then incrementally tweaking the pattern cut of the fabric so to create more tension across the lumbar and front edge of the seat. Another key part was to make sure all materials/parts are easily separable for either replacement or at the end of life. - @theconranshopofficial

Mobile cafe / Thailand - As a designer travelling Mobile cafe / Thailand - As a designer travelling is very nourishing for creativity so the last year has been a different experience. It’s not only the wonderful people and places but also the random encounters of interesting objects that is missed. These motorbike/mobile food stalls, each with their own set up (propane tank et al!), are driven up every lunchtime to pick up the custom from the factories that line the street.

FLOATING DUNES / 2019 - An unrealised proposal fro FLOATING DUNES / 2019 - An unrealised proposal from a brief to create a shaded walk way in Abu Dhabi. The canopy, made from different sized overlapping discs, replicates the rolling hills of the surrounding sand dunes. Each undulating disc would be made from thin aluminium strips woven into an open lattice to create a play of evolving densities of light and shadow through the day.
PROP / 2019 - A folding dining chair with a light PROP / 2019 - A folding dining chair with a light aesthetic as the thick canvas seat appears to float within the frame. Visually simple but difficult to engineer. From the hidden hinge point inside the pressed tubular cross, to working through iterative prototypes to find the right pattern cut for the fabric to produce good ergonomic tension (tight across the middle and lumbar / slightly looser at the front edge and at the top of the backrest). - @theconranshopofficial
