Holly Preece
BA Product Design
I am deeply fascinated by the intricacies of high-level craftsmanship, with a particular interest in furniture and lighting. My meticulous attention to detail motivates me to challenge myself throughout my design process. In combination with my love for carefully selected materials and design choices, I aspire to create functional and exceptionally-beautiful designs.
The Hide Armchair
The Hide Armchair is where style meets comfort. Designed with a focus on longevity and attention to detail, the use of natural materials and earth tones produces an armchair set to enrich the senses.
The walnut frame is crafted to perfectly flow with the curves of the seat, providing a seamless and coherent form that exudes elegance. The rich tones throughout the walnut create a warm and inviting structure to the armchair, while the grain naturally adds a touch of character. The hardwood frame is paired with contrasting soft touch nubuck cushions which provide a luxurious familiar tactility, reminiscent of a sense of comfort and security. The combined use of leather and walnut has been specifically chosen as each chair will be unique, as no two grains of wood, or hides, are the same.
The reclined angle is perfect for ultimate relaxation, inviting you to sink into the plush cushions which are adjustable for your personal preference. Whether you are reading, listening to your favourite artist, or simply taking a moment to unwind, the Hide Armchair provides you with a chance to escape, enrich your senses, and a place to indulge in a moment of luxury.
The Linear pendant
The Linear pendant light is a crafted, customisable lighting system designed to elevate any living space. Designed to be both a single investment piece for younger individuals, and a statement collection for consumers looking toward the higher end of the market.
The name 'Linear' was chosen to reflect the intent of progressing into a new market and audience direction, whilst mirroring the physical feature of the linear knurl finish, which is seen on multiple components, creating an unbroken elegance throughout.

It flawlessly fits within a broad range of interior styles, through flexible material and colour choices. Warm, cool, neutral colours, and finishes, allow the consumer to choose any combination to effortlessly suit their living space.
The Linear pendant light is not just artistically crafted, but also highly functional, as the dimmable light output it enriches the environment and mood within the space. By using carefully considered methods and materials, the Linear pendant is a premium, high-quality product with exquisitely refined details. It is also easy to install by coming apart in multiple parts; beginning to reduce the difficulty of hanging a pendant, making it a perfect addition to any home.
