Hattie Ayers
FPD
My design style is heavily influenced by my growing up in a rural village. I design with nature as my biggest catalyst, natural forms inspiring shape, colour, contrast and movement. I believe in William Morris’ principle of having nothing in your home that does not bring you joy; a lot of Morris’ designs were biomimicry inspired as mine are. My respect for the British landscape has morphed my personal design ethos as overarchingly sustainably driven. I do not think being environmentally conscious is a choice; it is a responsibility as a designer.
NOOK
Nook is a versatile, modular furniture system designed for house sharers. The customisable partition placement and sliding shelves separate individual’s belonging while maintaining a sense of togetherness. Nook fits in any home, from being stacked high and spread out to create a room divider to a subtle shoe rack that lives in the hall.
Delivered flat‑packed, Nook uses CNC machined grooves to guide intuitive assembly, with cabinet connectors and standard bolts providing a sturdy yet adaptable structure.
