OUR MAKERS
We are proud to introduce you to the designers, the established craftspeople and emerging makers that form the Simple Shape collection.
Some of the pieces are made by design partnerships and studios who have worked on their designs, researched, sampled, refined and reworked their pieces and pursued and sought out the highest quality way to get it produced using British skill and industry. Others are designing, crafting, refining and making their own collections by hand.
