Working from home without a study has its challenges. Where does the work day start and where does it end? Where to work and where to tidy it all away? The Davenport is designed to provide a separation between work and home life, serving as a dedicated space for work which can be easily tidied away at the end of the day.
David Irwin is an industrial designer driven by a curiosity for how and why things are made. For Irwin, design ideas grow from a desire to assign purpose to both traditional and contemporary manufacturing processes. Originally from Northern Ireland, Irwin was drawn to Northumbria University in Newcastle Upon Tyne, England, by its reputation for hands-on teaching and a holistic approach to 3-D design.
