BA Product Design
Emma Macey
Born in the Midlands, I'm inspired by rural life, texture, and materiality. With a passion for sustainable design, I explore its environmental and social impacts. Creative and conscientious, I bring enthusiasm, fresh ideas, and confident communication to teams, always thinking beyond conventional boundaries to drive thoughtful design solutions.
LAYZE Chair
The Layze Chair is designed with a clear and meaningful purpose: to create a space that understands and supports women on multiple levels: physically, emotionally, and aesthetically. Its proportions are gently refined to suit typically smaller frames, with an upright posture and soft angles that promote comfort without restricting movement. The open, inviting structure allows for fluid shifting and resting, accommodating the natural, varied ways women sit throughout the day.
More than just functional, Layze is an invitation to pause. It's a chair that encourages calm and quiet strength, offering a moment of autonomy in the midst of everyday routines. This intention is rooted in empathy, shaped through conversations with real users and detailed observations of posture, movement, and comfort preferences.
Unlike conventional furniture that often overlooks female experience, Layze responds thoughtfully to the specific needs and rhythms of women's lives. Every curve, joint, and material choice reflects a deep attentiveness to how comfort is felt, how space is occupied, and how design can be both gentle and empowering.
Layze is not just a place to sit - it's a piece that acknowledges, supports, and affirms. A design that doesn't impose, but instead makes space for being seen, heard, and cared for.
Timeless Link
Inspired by the intricate artistry of heritage jewelry, the Timeless Link light fixture is thoughtfully designed to evoke a sense of permanence and emotional connection within the home. It blends traditional elegance with contemporary functionality, offering a sophisticated alternative to transient design trends. Every detail - from the form to the finish - has been carefully considered to ensure both durability and aesthetic integrity, making it a piece that stands the test of time.
At its core, the Timeless Link is a celebration of craftsmanship and meaningful design. The fixture's graceful curves and interlocking forms pay homage to the symbolism found in heirloom jewelry, representing continuity, memory, and enduring value. This narrative of connection and longevity is further emphasized through the use of high-quality, sustainable materials chosen for their strength, beauty, and minimal environmental impact.
By prioritising timelessness over trendiness, the design not only enhances the atmosphere of a space but also encourages a more mindful approach to consumption. It aligns with a growing desire for objects that offer lasting relevance, emotional resonance, and environmental responsibility.
More than just a source of light, the Timeless Link is a statement of thoughtful living - an elegant fixture designed to illuminate both homes and values.
