Sitting on a piece of furniture by Max Lamb means more. It's no coincidence that the creator, born in St. Austell, Cornwall in 1980, started with his project “Exercises in Seating” after graduating in design from the Royal College of Art.

Since that time Lamb has been exploring the art of sitting. His designs flourish with spirit and convey the joy that Lamb feels whilst creating his seating furniture. Max Lamb is a master of fusion. In his work “old school” and “new school” merge.

During his numerous overseas travels Max Lamb let himself be inspired amongst other things by traditional, regional craftsmanship. He combines these old, sometimes archaic forms of production with high-tech know-how and materials such as stone, metal and wool felt.

You can always see the processual in the designs of the multi award winning shooting star. Skilled manual work stages such as grinding, chiselling and welding are left clearly visible for the viewer.

Craggy surfaces are confronted with smooth ones, suggesting lightness and heaviness at the same time whilst also pointing at their origins.

And this is nature. In his furniture designs Max Lamb offers a good foundation on which the human body can not only sit down. His seating furniture is also meant as a sort of lookout, from which one can observe the world around form a different point of view.
