 <\/p>\n

Modelmaking has always played an important role in design development at FCBStudios, and the relationship between the studio and workshop environment is considered integral to the design process. The practice has recently invested in new workshops across its UK studios, providing state of the art facilities accessible to all.<\/p>\n

Hugh Miller\u00a0– Hugh Miller Furniture<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Hugh Miller is a designer and maker specialising in studio\u00a0furniture in wood. Hugh trained as an architect prior to\u00a0founding his studio,\u00a0and sees his work as small pieces of architecture, where the concept is\u00a0embedded in the articulation of the\u00a0details.<\/p>\n

Hugh is heavily influenced by his time researching craftsmanship in Japan as a Winston\u00a0Churchill Memorial Fellow. This transformative\u00a0experience led him to\u00a0develop a set of design principles, inspired by Japanese making\u00a0philosophy, that now underpin his studio. As well as creating his furniture\u00a0collection, Hugh also designs for established\u00a0brands including collaborations with Benchmark Furniture,\u00a0Savoir Beds, and The IceHotel Sweden.<\/p>\n

\n
\n<\/div>\n
Hugh has lectured widely on the subject of furniture, it\u2019s connections to architecture, and on Japanese design and applied arts philosophy. Hugh is a design tutor at Newcastle University School of Architecture, and is a visiting lecturer at Osaka Institute of Technology. His most recent talk, titled \u2018Furniture is Small Architecture\u2019, was delivered in Osaka in November 2017.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
In April 2018, Hugh won a commission from the National Trust to create a piece to be added to the permanent collection at William Morris\u2019s Red House, London. The piece will be handmade in Hugh\u2019s studio in Liverpool, before being transported to London, where it will be (briefly) set on fire in a public \u2018Burn Ceremony\u2019.<\/div>\n
