This range of tableware takes its queue from the enigmatic heyday of 1930's car-racing. As a result the designs are modern and bold, expressing the irreverent optimism of the era. The plates are round and oval and have the same banked flanks as the old race tracks of yore. The colours are those of the countries' racing stables: british racing green, ferrari red, german silver and the (royal) french blue.

Winner of a competition to utilise an 18m high surge pipe on Holland Park roundabout in London.

The enigmatic design purposefully disguises its subtle message so as to strengthen its presence.

Corium was developed in response to the SNCF's (french railway) request at how high speed travel will evolve over the next 30 years. Our response was a train with a skin (corium (kôr-m) Latin, skin) that would be responsive to its environment and context as it speeds through the landscape, capturing and transmitting snippets of information.
