Aaron Jackson
I am a designer committed to creating work that is both aesthetically compelling and highly functional. My designs aim to evoke meaningful experiences and foster positive emotional responses, whether through interactivity, visual language, or tactile engagement. Grounded in a contemporary perspective, my approach is shaped by an awareness of current and emerging global challenges. I aim to champion materiality as a powerful storytelling tool, using narrative-led design to bring depth and resonance to every project.
Chair for Life
Chair for Life is a thoughtful response to the rise of fast furniture and its throwaway culture. This project explores the idea of longevity - not just in materials, but in emotional value. Designed with timeless aesthetics and built from durable, high-quality materials, the chair is meant to age gracefully and grow more meaningful over time. A key driver of the project's development was the designer's curiosity to explore the potential of multiple seating formats in one, achieving versatile functionality with minimal compromise. The design's built-in drawer invites users to store personal items and mementos, allowing the chair to become a physical archive of memories and moments. Its modular components are designed to adapt to the changing needs of the user throughout their life. As the user evolves, so does the chair, making it not just a piece of furniture, but a companion through time.
Chair for Life encourages a deeper, more sustainable connection between people and the objects they live with.
Nimble
Inspired by the juxtaposition between light and heavy, the Nimble stool is designed to seamlessly adapt to the evolving needs of contemporary spaces. Its visual solidity contrasts with its true lightweight nature, playfully subverting expectations and encouraging tactile interaction. Thoughtfully engineered with all users in mind, Nimble's lightness not only enhances user experience, but also eases handling for workers. Its nestable form allows it to be stacked, offering efficient, space-saving storage. Available in a wide range of material finishes, each version reflects subtle variations shaped by its specific manufacturing process. This versatility makes Nimble suitable for a wide variety of sectors from commercial and educational to residential and hospitality environments.
