Eiry Rock – Furniture Designer/Maker

Biography

I grew up in Wales where I studied at the Glamorgan Centre for Art and Design Technology and was awarded the Art and Design Award 2003. Following that I moved to Leicestershire to study Furniture Design at Loughborough University School of Art and Design, where I graduated with a BA (Hons) in 2007. Since graduating my work has received much praise and my career within the design field is developing at an exciting rate. I am now based in Leicester where I am gaining further experience in furniture making at Thorpes: Bespoke Joinery and Furniture, while developing my design ideas and focussing on the core values of my design interests.

I have recently been awarded Design Factory ‘Designer of the Year 2007’ and was presented with my award at 100% Design in September. The winning design, ‘Box Chair / Child’s Chair’, will take centre stage with Design Factory, the East Midlands leading design organisation, on their stand at 100% Design 2008.

After being hand-selected to exhibit at Lustre, the East Midland’s premier Craft Makers Market hosted by the Lakeside Arts Centre, Nottingham in November, I was awarded the ‘Hub Innovation Prize’ for demonstrating a challenging and innovative use of form, material and concept. I am now in the process of developing my work in preparation for showcasing with the Hub: National Centre for Craft and Design in September 2008, whilst working towards other projects.

Practical Huggy Armchair

Huggy Armchair

At Freshome we really enjoy furniture that can twist, bend or turn, to get a new shape for different purposes. Take the Huggy armchair for example. Normally it has a mattress that is wrapped inside a small cylindrical wooden base, like the ice cream in a cone, to form a 77 x 60 x 60 cm comfortable armchair. However if you need to come up with a solution, if your friends decided to stay overnight, you can change it into an extra bed. Just unscrew the base and roll the mattress on the floor, you’ll have a 190 x 120 cm perfect bed. huggy armchairThe Huggy armchair can even be changed into a small table. Turn the base upside-down and voila, you have a 60 cm diameter, 40 cm height and 12 cm thick, useful night table. It shouldn’t be very expensive and could easily be done by yourself if you have some time to kill. – Via huggy bed
