These furniture pieces explore the idea of photos as objects, and the act of framing as fundamental to the process of photography.

Les French is a series of furniture that embodies the value of the first impulsive sketch. In our studio we make spontaneous structures using bamboo and string, that are then cast in bronze. Using the lost material casting process the structures, that were once spontaneous and loose, become rigid and strong. We then set about creating ad-hoc cabinets, drawers or function surfaces that can be placed on top, coating them in layers of paper strips and durable lacquer.

Silverware is a collection of porcelain vases with silver gelatin photograms of coastal seaweed. The images on the vases have been created using an original photographic technique. Seaweeds are temporarily attached to the surface of sensitised vases before being resolved within a beam of light.

Running Mould is a bench made by blowing up the technique of making plaster cornices on a big scale. The shape of the bench was built up gradually by scraping layers of wet plaster with a former pivoting around the centre of the gallery. It was a physical process that took a team of six people three days to complete, mixing two tons of plaster by hand

The Green Room is a kinetic installation that was designed for a six storey stairwell at the Victoria and Albert Museum. Suspended from the ceiling above, a curtain barrel of multicoloured silicon cords moves slowly in a wave like motion creating an ever changing kaleidoscope of colour.

Datum is a dance performance that explores our conscious spatial awareness versus our empirical understanding of space using tools. The performance was a collaboration with dance artists Siobhan Davis and Helka Kaski and toured a number of venues throughout the UK.‍

Nez is a museum exhibition that we designed about perfumery. Challenged with finding a way of showing fragrance in a museum environment, we created 6 rooms that present the perfumes using canny physical engagements; From fans that are lifted from the surface of tables, to vessels that release the perfume when the visitor pulls down on helium balloons; Each concept required the visitor to explore and interact with the installations in order to access the scent.
