Aaron Scott In The Studio
All of my designs are the product of trial-and-error experimentation in the studio, where I work from sketches and plaster models. I’m interested in furniture and lighting whose forms suggest movement, dynamism and instability. Since 2010 I've worked exclusively in stacked-lamination, which allows me to treat wood as a plastic medium, capable of expressing compound curvature along any axis.

Describe your creative process.
My process is sculptural: I begin with an image or idea from which I derive some simple sketches; I use these to generate models and mock-ups that explore the form at full scale.
