Meet the makers exhibiting at Evolution of Tradition: Jake Phipps

Evolution of Tradition, a new exhibition of contemporary bespoke furniture designed by some of the UK’s most distinguished craftspeople, takes place from 2 until 5 October this autumn at Design Centre, Chelsea Harbour. The exhibition represents an exciting collaboration between The Furniture Makers’ Company and Design Centre, Chelsea Harbour, the world’s premier design destination.

Fifteen makers, including Jake Phipps, are exhibiting 28 pieces at the exhibition.

Jake Phipps is a distinguished British designer who graduated from John Makepeace’s furniture design school, Parnham College, in 1999.

In 2005 he set up his own studio in London and began designing production pieces for a wide range of European manufacturers, including Gebruder Thonet, Riva, Innermost and Casamania.

Since 2010 he has specialised in designing and making his own unique and highly engineered pieces to order and to commission.

This award-winning work is often characterised by energetic and elegant metallic forms that are not only purposeful but exude a luxurious and precious quality to them.
