The Studio
The studio is a space for experimentation, invention and critique. We create bespoke one-off and limited edition objects and products.
We are a small core team who specialise in design, curation, craft and technology. We realise most of our work in-house, and draw upon our network of collaborators and experts to add rigour, perspective and quality to the work.
The studio was founded in 2014 when Tom first became a resident of the Pervasive Media Studio. In May 2017, we moved into our first dedicated studio space on Marsh Street in the centre of Bristol. (image above).
In the Summer of 2023 we moved into our new studio in the West End of Dundee.
Our current work includes:
Collaborating with creative PR, communication and marketing agencies to define, develop and deliver experimental brand campaign activations. Work is often realised with the brilliant folk at Strange Thoughts.
Product development with startups and SMEs. We’re particularly proud of what we’ve been doing with Arcade Strange and what we have planned with Gravitywell.
Object design that drives narrative and greater audience experience. Tom is currently working with the pioneering theatre company Raucous on a new production.
Research through Design in Human Computer Interaction and Participatory Design. We have collaborated with numerous researchers, inside and outside of academia, this includes with the one-of-a-kind wicked problems agency, Supersum. Much of the work has been published.
Self-directed, limited edition, functional art. Tom has been working on a solo show, entitled SS23 collection for a wee while now and it should finally get a public viewing this year!
