CHARLIE BOYDEN
     
British artist and designer who explores light, objects, and furniture. His work aims to interrogate the function of everyday things and respond through a thoughtful and reimagined landscape. Frequently working with 'waste,' he persuades the materials to dictate form and hopes to educate on the importance of creating beauty from the discarded.

Here you’ll find his current and growing collection of furniture, lights, sculptures and other oddjects.

Everything is made to order. 
Pieces can be customised upon request.

THE NORTH FACE WORKBENCH

2024
London & Berlin
Consultation, design development, and fabrication.


Private commission with Are You Mad and The North Face. Using plastic waste produced within TNF’s company, we designed and built a workbench made entirely from plastic (apart from the hardware). Our goal was to design a hard wearing, heavy duty workbench with multiple working areas at different heights too accomodate for everyone attending the workshops. The bench also had to flat pack and utilise the under space for simple storage of plastic waste during workshops.

Dimensions
3m x 3m

Finish
Recycled plastic, shredded, melted and formed into new panels and shapes.

Features
Flat pack. Dismountable. Removable shelves. Integrated shred bowl section.
