“I draw a lot of inspiration from understanding the context of use of a product,” explains Hardy,  “As well as trying to find innovative applications for the materials and processes I’m working with.”

With a profound interest in design as an experience and a focus on the user interface, Chris Hardy’s collections are responsive to the needs of the consumer, something that when coupled with his hands-on approach to creating, results in furniture that “affects people physically, psychologically and behaviourally.”
