Designing and making beautiful objects simply and sincerely – often through DIY solutions, improvisation and the geometric phenomena found in nature – is a major impetus for Peter Marigold.

Born in London in 1974, he first studied art and sculpture at Central St Martins before enrolling in Design Products at the Royal College of Art in 2004. His fine art training, combined with a series of jobs in scenographic design and production – props, models, costumes and sets for theatre and exhibitions – has led Marigold to a pluralistic and resourceful approach to furniture design.

Springing from a desire to “amplify” the simple logic of the natural world, he often emphasises the phenomena found in nature’s form and inverts structures, to bring the unseen inside out.
