| Julia Charles Designer/Maker
My design development process is tactile, tangible, visual and
practical, from concept to realisation. My influences range from
Japanese architecture, to Scandinavian furniture design to plant
biology. The work of designers such as Sori Yanagi, Charles and
Ray Eames and Hans Wegner together with many other great modernist
designers provides enormous inspiration.
The evolution of a new
design emerges from drawing, model making, exploring materials
and testing processes. These processes are useful in refining
proportions, creating logical relationships and clean, simple
lines.
I
strive for qualities of unself-consciousness and utilitarian
purpose rather than ladening my work with unnecessary adornment.
Environmental awareness underpins each project. Designing for longevity
depends on the use of quality sustainable materials and manufacturing
processes. I aim to create objects with a sense of timelessness.
