An independent design studio.

The Design Assembly’s speciality is crafting original designs, using an array of materials and techniques. We document the process and hope it serves as inspiration to designers of all skill levels.

Beyond the objects themselves, we look into the realm of design in our magazine. It offers a selection of content, celebrating the power of creativity. The aim is to inspire our readers and foster a deeper appreciation for the ways design shapes our daily lives.

Redefining the intersection of art and design.

Design and art, so often cast as distinct disciplines – one relentlessly practical, the other emotionally expressive. Design, bound to solve problems, to meet the demands of daily life. Art, on the other hand, is often focused on expressing emotion and exploring ideas. Yet, there has always been a fluidity between these disciplines, a hidden crossroads where art and design collaborate beautifully.

Our approach to design is, shall we say, coloured by our artistic inclinations. We see every product not only as a functional object, but as a chance for creative expression. The beginning of each project lies in a playful exploration of concepts and experimenting with techniques. The challenge then is to distil those inspirations into designs that are both useful and meaningful in everyday life.

exploring all methods to enhance designs.

We hold a deep respect for the enduring value of traditional techniques, yet remain keenly aware of the potential that new technologies and innovation offer.

Let’s honour the past and embrace the future.

Big ideas.

Small batches.

Our design approach blends sophistication with a subtle artistic flair.  By infusing these elements with a touch of creative abstraction, we can create designs that feel truly unique.

By manufacturing these products in small batches, we can ensure that each item receives careful attention. 

Striving to reduce our impact on the planet.

We aim to create products that are both beautiful and sustainable. Good design has the power to make a positive difference in the world. By making conscious choices about the materials and processes we use, we can reduce our impact on the environment.

The design assembly.

We have an unwavering belief in the power of collaboration within design. Our goal is to cultivate a network of designers who share our enthusiasm for the creative process. By bringing together a rich tapestry of backgrounds and perspectives, we can form a dynamic community where the boundaries of design are constantly challenged.

With our collective expertise, we can create designs with impact and purpose that surpasses anything we could achieve in alone. Together, let’s redefine the possibilities of design. The results, we believe, will be nothing short of remarkable.
