THE DESIGNER

Tom Housden set up the Hand & Eye design studio in 2011. The studio was borne out of the desire to reacquaint designer and maker so that the designer is not separated from the physical process of making. Hand & Eye projects are developed from drawing stage right through to the making and manufacturing process. This method allows Tom to make subtle judgements in shape, space, texture and colour that could otherwise be missed. The studio has also established a diverse range of collaborators and workshops around the UK and Europe and is creating some amazing work.
