Paul Cocksedge is an internationally renowned British designer who was born in 1978 and has lived and worked in East London all his life. He has spent nearly two decades building a reputation for his innovative designs, which are imbued with a sense of simplicity, joy and wonder. Paul Cocksedge has worked his way into the art world, bringing a fresh perspective that has always been an integral part of his work.

He received his Bachelor of Fine Arts in Industrial Design from Sheffield Hallam University in 1997, and subsequently studied under the mentorship of Ron Arad at the Royal College of Art in London. Together with Joana Pinho, he co-founded Paul Cocksedge Studio in London in 2004. With a strong and dedicated team of collaborators, the Studio has won national and international acclaim for its original and innovative design, underpinned by research into the limits of technology, materials and manufacturing processes.

Science is an ever-present anchor for the works, and a forensic investigation into the limitations of processes, materials, and the human body lays the foundations for everything. Paul is enduringly curious about our relationship to the Earth, and his works address pressing issues of our time, from social connection to fossil fuel. Sorcery in light, colour and mass all zero in on creating a moment of communication with other human beings.
