Carbon Fibre and composite technologies are better known for their use in spacecraft, aeroplanes, racing cars, yachts and bikes. With its unique properties of strength, stiffness and amazing lightweight. It is a specialist material, unrivalled in it’s abilities.

I have used composites for fourteen years, being responsible for constructing bespoke racing yachts and components, structures and accessories for both the marine and motorsport industries. I have realised that there is no reason why composites and carbon fibre with their unique abilities should not be applied and incorporated into modern interior design, furniture design and beyond.

Carbon fibre, Kevlar and glass fibre are woven dry fabrics which are laid into a mould and then impregnated with a resin which then cures and forms the finished product. Using this process, any shape can be created. It provides the ability to lay the fibres along the orientation of the stresses and loads within the piece, resulting in a structurally, immensely strong but very thin and light product, appearing to defy the laws of science.

Carbon fibre has great aesthetic qualities, which along with its strong structural abilities create an image which is modern, minimalist and often exotic with its associations to the exclusive world of technology and science. In its natural form with a clear varnish, carbon fibre has a finish that has a '3D' effect which appears to have fluidity as you move around the product displaying a surface that is truly unique. Composites are capable of withstanding the rigours of extreme conditions, therefore can be used both indoors and out with ease.
