John Tree is a London-based designer with a focus on industry and economy.
His award-winning designs reflect an understanding and engagement with the manufacturing process. John's pared-back approach often reduces pieces to their essential elements, resulting in crafted yet industrial designs with a refined function and essential simplicity that seek to drive longevity.
With a background that includes working at both Sony and Jasper Morrison's design studios, John established his own practice in 2016.
His studio works with clients in the furniture, lighting, and electronic industries including HAY, Hydro, Muuto, Naught One, Nine, Resident, Roli, Tala, and VG&P.
John has been awarded an iF Design award in Hanover, the Red Dot design award, a Gold "G-Mark" Good Design award in Japan, been selected for the Millennium Product Collection, and has work in the permanent collection at MoMA.
Projects have been widely featured in publications including Domus, Casamica, Creative Review, Design Magazine, Elle Deco, Frame, Icon, I.D. and Wallpaper.
He holds numerous international patents, as both sole and joint inventor and is an occasional visiting tutor at the RCA and has been an external assessor at ECAL.
