Alexander Lamont'
British designer Alexander Lamont has always been interested in enigmatic textures, forms, and materials; ‘surfaces that call out to be touched. The journey to make such furniture, lighting, and objects in the 21st century - requiring time and hard-won skills for each piece - took him to Thailand where he has built celebrated workshops. Alexander Lamont makes collections of furniture, lighting, objects, and wall panels with unexpected natural materials and refined hand techniques that have been used for centuries in Europe and Asia. Our minimal, organic and tailored designs show a contemporary reverence for rituals of craftsmanship and the energy that human skills impart into every piece.
