DESIGN PROFILE: sebastian cox

When it comes to making a big noise about the beauty of British timber, Sebastian Cox is a man on a mission. The furniture maker and designer is one of the design world’s youngest but most powerful advocates for the use of local wood. After a sell-out show at Tent London in 2010, while he was still at Lincoln University finishing his MA in Design and Sustainability, he set up on his own in 2011 with the aim to create pieces which marry traditional craftsmanship with locally grown wood and the clean, sleek lines of contemporary living.

DESIGN PROFILE - joyce wang

If she hadn’t become an interior designer, Joyce Wang thinks she would probably have gone into film. ‘I’ve always been jealous of how a good film can inspire people to talk about it afterwards – take Stanley Kubrick’s The Shining, which has so much layering and hidden clues,’ she says. ‘My hope with our interiors is that people will want to re-experience them, to get a bit more out of them on each visit.’
