Ian Cull Furniture and Product Design

• Independent Furniture and Product Designer

  • May 2010 - Present

  I began working as a freelancer in 2010. My experience is drawn from many years spent working within in-house design teams developing products for some of the UK’s largest retailers. Manufacturing, or more accurately "manufacturability", has always been at the heart of my work. I have a great deal of knowledge of a wide range of materials and manufacturing processes and I have built up a number of close working relationships with manufacturers in the UK, Europe and the Far East over almost two decades. My designs always strive to get the most out of what is possible, whilst also being reliable to manufacture in serial production. The clean, contemporary style of my designs has seen a great deal of commercial success over the years. I firmly believe in promoting British design as a valuable differentiating factor in modern business, and I am keen to build lasting relationships based on trust, understanding and success. If you're looking for short-term assistance or a more long-term partnership I'm ready to help. I work in a number of different ways to suit my clients' individual needs. Take a look at the services I offer and contact me directly to discuss how we can work together. Show less
