BarberOsgerby is a London-based industrial design studio established in 1996 by British designers Edward Barber and Jay Osgerby. Barber and Osgerby's multidisciplinary portfolio encompasses furniture, lighting and product design as well as art and architectural-scale projects. They are both Royal Designers for Industry (RDI) and are past recipients of the Jerwood Applied Arts prize. Both are Honorary Doctors of Arts, and Osgerby is an Honorary Fellow of Ravensbourne. The pair have lectured internationally and their work is held in permanent collections around the world including the Victoria & Albert Museum, London; the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York; London's Design Museum; and the Art Institute of Chicago. Significant recent projects include the Tip Ton chair for Vitra (2011), the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic torch and a £2 coin commemorating the 150th anniversary of the London Underground in 2013. Barber and Osgerby are also founders of Universal Design Studio, a London-based architecture and interior design studio, and MAP, a London-based industrial design consultancy focused on design strategy. == Background == Edward Barber (born 1969, Shrewsbury, England) studied interior design at Leeds Polytechnic. Jay Osgerby (born 1969, Oxford, England), completed a foundation art programme at Oxford Brookes University and studied product design at Ravensbourne College in London. The two met while studying for their Master's degrees in Architecture at London's Royal College of Art. After graduating, they set up their studio in Trellick Tower, West London, and from there designed their first furniture piece, the Loop Table, manufactured by Isokon (the first new piece to be added to the Isokon range in over 40 years).〔Barber, E. & Osgerby, J. ''The Design Work of Edward Barber and Jay Osgerby''. Rizzoli, 2011, p. 21.〕 The Loop Table was shown at the London Design Fair in 1997 and spotted by Giulio Cappellini, catalysing a long working relationship between the designers and the renowned Italian furniture producer. The Loop was introduced into the Cappellini collection in 1998 and a series of products were subsequently developed, bringing early international acclaim to Barber and Osgerby. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「BarberOsgerby」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
