Pete Davies
Pete’s work includes sculptural and material explorations in furniture design and lighting, drawing inspiration from natural landscape processes and primitive forms.
Handcrafted in his London studio, each piece is created using a mix of digital and traditional fabrication techniques. The construction process is deliberately visible, with seams of formwork and traces of carving left exposed, emphasizing the making processes behind each creation.
Shaped by his architectural background, Pete’s designs are driven by materiality, construction, and atmosphere. Pete works for a bespoke architectural design studio and also teaches on the Landscape Architecture at The Bartlett, UCL. / @studio_pete
