Tim Rundle: Designing for the Factory
Tim Rundle: Designing for the Factory
What happens to designing from the process out when the factories are half a world away? Industrial designer Tim Rundle spent 15 years abroad, founding his independent studio in London in 2015, before coming back home to Aotearoa. His work starts in the factory, from the furniture meccas of Northern Italy to the mass production powerhouses of the Far East. Logistical limits led to a new finish for raw aluminium with ReFramed in Denmark, and new ways of shaping timber for Morgan in the South of England. The factory shapes the drawing as much as the drawing shapes the factory.
