Single strap option + colourways for Bubble mask. Single strap option + colourways for Bubble mask. Front thinner bungee cord acts a bit like suspension allowing for a better fit when face and jaw moves. Bubble mask is reusable transparent face mask to provide high protection from any contagious airborne transmission of respiratory disease now and in future. The mask project development in conjunction with the DeTao Masters academy in Shanghai. Bubble is designed to provide a simple comfortable, cost effective solution with higher protection than current single use options. Bubble is specifically designed to protect at the high levels needed for healthcare workers, patients and others in the health service. Transparent masks support important communication issues for anyone with hearing difficulties or are deaf, patients/service users with cognitive problems such as dementia, and those with learning disabilities. The unique construction provides a solution where all parts can be dissembled, washed and then reassembled to combat the environmental impact of single use products. Innovative features include an omni-directional filter placed around the perimeter and a unique nano coating that is applied applied to the outer and inner surfaces. The nano coating is anti-fog, self-cleaning and anti-bacterial. The hepa filter is replaceable and has a large enough surface area to provide ease of breathing without compromising visual communication. All parts dissemble to be easily cleaned for daily use. All materials can be seperated and for ease to recycle at the end of life. #industrialdesign #respiratory #mask #protect #inclusive #hepafilter #nanocoating #communication #sustainable #productdesign #detao #design #samuelwilkinson

Sketch detail of a small update to the FLW chair. Sketch detail of a small update to the FLW chair. The thick timber structure had a bit of twist across the frame so we added an additional cross bar at the front, matching the double lengths that run front to back. The chair was launched last year as part of special collaboration between @scpltd & @ishinomakilab.

FLW front view + original visualisation. The FLW FLW front view + original visualisation. The FLW chair was part of a special collaboration between @scpltd and Japanese brand @ishinomakilab. The collection marked ten years since the Great Eastern Japan earthquake and tsunami with an exhibition of new furniture designs from Ishinomaki Laboratory, the Japanese DIY furniture company founded in the immediate aftermath of the 2011 disaster. FLW’s design is a simple vision of two folded pillows, supported by a heavy 3 legged timber frame. The aim for the piece was to create a fully sustainable, compact, comfortable and affordable lounge chair. The upholstery is made up from all natural materials. In the seat a simple planar wooden frame with a hessian webbing supports layers of cocolok mats (pressed coconut fibre bound with natural latex), then soft cushioning is created from folded layers of thick needled wool (reconstituted wool/cottton mix) to complete the pillow.

TUSCA developments 1:1 The best part of being an TUSCA developments 1:1 The best part of being an industrial designer is when you receive development prototypes as this usually means the product is on its way to reality, which is not always the case. For TUSCA we went through a series of machined polystyrene prototypes which are ideal for testing as strong enough for sitting yet soft enough to cut and update. After each round the 3D cad gets updated until everyone is happy, then it can be tooled. The final image shows the final form machined from a harder compound.
TUSCA / 2021 Designed for @crassevig, TUSCA is a TUSCA / 2021 Designed for @crassevig, TUSCA is a hybrid shell chair with it’s ‘half arm’ form. Most shells wrap further forward towards the front edge, with TUSCA we tried give the same comfort as a standard length arm but with the added openness of a non-arm shell. The generous form hugs the user while still allowing movement and varied sitting positions. The name TUSCA comes from a mix of its subtle elephant reference and the Italian heritage.

ECHO - Green A new rug collaboration with Spanish ECHO - Green A new rug collaboration with Spanish brand @gan_rugs. Hand knotted in 100% New Zealand wool and available in two colours – Green and Red. The name ECHO relates to the tonal colour effect used across the bold pattern. The central square dots (derived from the negative space from irregular grid) are a like visual representation of an echo, stronger in the centre then fading out and blending towards the background

FLW chair is part of a special collaboration between @scpltd and Japanese brand @ishinomakilab Laboratory. The collection marks ten years since the Great Eastern Japan earthquake and tsunami with an exhibition of new furniture designs from Ishinomaki Laboratory, the Japanese DIY furniture company founded in the immediate aftermath of the 2011 disaster. FLW is inspired by Frank Lloyd Wright’s Falling Water house with its strong vertical and horizontal volumes and the idea of ‘floating tatami chair’. The name references the house and the great architect who spent many productive years in Japan in the early 20th century.
