Jack Allfrey

‍

Jack is a Product and Furniture designer, using efficient low waste ideas to create everyday useable designs; from shelving units with old crushed scaffolding pipes, to reusing waste leather offcuts to create stools inspired by the formation of rocks. 

During Jack's 3 month residency he has been taking full advantage of access to workshop facilities which he otherwise wouldn’t have. He has used the 3 months is to enhance his portfolio, creating a collection of pieces which he has been photographing in our photography studio, kickstarting the creation of his website. Jack has been particularly using the woodwork shop and metal workshop, experimenting with off-cuts of leather and wood to make innovative utilitarian and household items.
