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.

Spring  Chair

Originally named ‘High Risk’ and chosen by UBS Insurance firm to be one of five pieces installed at their head office on Fenchurch Street. 

The brief was to propose a sculpture to exist within their office. I designed a chair that would never stand up. You’d get injured just by using it... 

The piece stood in their office for 3 years. My uncle worked at the firm and would give it a wobble daily. It was shown as part of my first solo show. The plastic egg seat replaced for an original Eames fibreglass, made in the 60’s. It’s an object of non-function. A thing of thought more than any object that does something... Now it doesn't just represent the idea of injury, it’s a thing that makes you think. A new way of seeing the objects that build the foundations of our world.
