Tom Price

Tom Price graduated with a Masters degree from the Royal College of Art in 2007 and has since been establishing his multifaceted design practice, taking on a wide variety of projects and commissions. His work is typically sculptural in appearance – a legacy from his background in Fine Art – and recent projects reflect his interest in exploring the boundaries between art and design.

Price sees chance as being an extremely important factor in design, and ultimately one that is unavoidable in the development of a product. This rationale inspired him to delve into the possibility of using chance directly as a tool for design. The Edge lounger that Price has designed for MARK is another unwitting victim of serendipity. The original concept had been to split the lounger into two V-shaped halves with a vertical gap
running down its length. However, due to manufacturing and material constraints it was necessary to implement a succession of radical changes to the design. The end result is a greatly simplified yet more elegant version of the original.

Tom has designed the Edge lounger for MARK.
