Andu Masebo; product and furniture designer from London with a practice rooted in craft, curiosity and the relationship between design and material culture. Working in the space between functional objects and a more exploratory artistic practice. Andu’s approach cross pollinates these two methodologies. Shaped by a desire to make objects with a deep inherent value, his work circulates around people, place and time.


A background centered on the practicalities of making things has informed a way of working up close to production, as well as a holistic perspective on how process shapes the eventual context of things. Using Design as a tool to bring people together, Andu’s work is characterised by simplicity and efficiency, building bridges between people, materials and experiences in order to explore new narratives through design.
