Philip Boddington Design

I believe design should feature elements with a clear functional purpose and display an appearance which honestly reflects the construction.

I enjoy work which is structurally dynamic, where the piece projects the flow of support through it and has a sense of lightness, lift and strength.

I like the attraction of a piece to highlight its form and the natural beauty of the timber and I subscribe to the adage that more is often less. I find natural structures which have been perfected by evolution an inspiration and am attracted to organic forms.

I aim for high integrity in the pieces that I make and to ultimately judge my work in a holistic sense against the requirements.
