About the maker
About the maker
Phil Cuttance is a London-based designer/maker from New Zealand.
He's interested in methods of making which endow his objects with visual clues as to how they are made. Their complex forms and sharp lines mean it is sometimes assumed they have been made using CAD software, CNC machining, or 3D printing, but closer inspection reveals that they are all handmade. Often tiny imperfections, a result of the processes by which they are made, give this away.

‘I like to think I have added my voice to the chorus of makers who believe it is important to present how a piece is made along with the finished piece itself, so as to encourage an appreciation and more closer consideration of what is involved in crafting original works.’
