groupDesign was formed in North London in 2008, by two designers who wanted to combine
their commercial, bespoke and architectural design experience to create progressive
lighting, furniture and home accessories. Working on projects individually and as a partnership,
we firmly believe that collaboration adds a richness and depth to the design process.
Our design work is a response to technological, cultural and emotional needs, and ranges
from bespoke/low volume items to products suitable for mass manufacture. They are
objects that fulfil their chosen role with elegance and ease, without unnecessary visual and
structural clutter. We strive to create products that express a warmth and emotion whilst
making efficient use of form, material and manufacturing process.
