Design sketching

Whether you want a custom product made just for you, or need a designer to help you bring an idea to the mass market, Thomas is happy to find an inspired solution that is well researched and tested to fit seamlessly into the lives of those who interact with it. Our philosophy at Hart & Hive is to design objects with visual intrigue that consider both the environmental and social impact their existence will have and offer a "cradle-to-cradle" approach that takes into account materiality, manufacturing techniques, object use, repairability, longevity, and eventually; disposal. We desire to offer our clients thoughtful objects and spaces they'll inherently cherish and feel enhanced by interacting with.
