Studio Chair

Celebrating the defects and marks of sand cast aluminium and raw hide leather the studio
chair was created from a necessity to create a piece entirely from available materials and
samples found within our studio.

Juxtaposing raw cast aluminium with reclaimed natural tan hide leather, the Studio chair is
an elegant yet industrial hybrid made entirely from available samples and production
components.

The Studio Chair celebrates the raw uncompromising finish of unfinished materials and
production processes, celebrating this aesthetic rather than hiding their true nature.

Honest Design, true to materials and its process. Tom Fereday develops products based on
the principle of honest design, conveying a design process which celebrates the materials
and manufacturing processes behind furniture and products, to design from the inside out.
By using the materials and environment as a positive design constraint we guide intelligent
and thoughtful design outcomes which connect with people through natural materials, tactile finishes and unique design. We strive to create enduring designs which are meaningful to people and their environment. Born in Australia, Tom Fereday grew up in England studying
at the Wimbledon School of Art before moving to Sydney to complete an honours in
Industrial Design at the University of Technology Sydney. Working across Europe and
Australia Tom Fereday went onto found his sole practice in 2012.
