Thelermont Hupton is an award-winning design studio that produces a diverse collection of furniture, lighting and home accessories. Since the studio's formation in 2004, Thelermont Hupton's products and furniture have become recognisable through their willingness to reflect social conventions and peculiarities, and their strong visual identity and sometime surprising functionality. The products are engrained with the mark of well considered, bold and inevitably lively design.
Both Yve Thelermont and David Hupton arrived in the design world via the route of cabinet making and furniture design. They continue to celebrate this medium and build upon their catalogue of projects and products within this field. The emphasis of the furniture design process remains firmly on creating and maintaining a strong visual presence while accommodating the essentials of comfort and functionality.
At the same time, they have discovered that product design provides a route through which to convey and express their visual commentary in objects. This satisfies their urge to reflect influences that do not initially appear to have their roots founded in design eith thoughtful, challenging and useful pieces that are capable of winning acclaim worldwide.
