Max Lamb, born in the UK in 1980, grew up in a bucolic seaside town in Cornwall, England: an upbringing that imbued him with a love of nature and a creative spirit. This led him to explore materials by re-contextualising them in both conventional and unconventional ways. He exploits the inherent qualities of his materials and reconsiders their function. Lamb designs products that stimulate a positive three-way interaction between product, maker and user, through a visual simplicity that effectively communicates the obvious function of each piece.
After completing a degree in Three-Dimensional Design at Northumbria University, Lamb went on to receive a Master’s Degree in Design Products from the Royal College of Art, London, in 2006. A frequent lecturer and design workshop leader, Lamb currently lives in London where he continues to develop new designs that challenge the traditional concepts of the materials he uses, and the processes with which he manipulates them.
