About
SmithMatthias is an award winning design studio founded by Jack Smith and Gemma Matthias. The multi-disciplinary studio applies a rigour and thoughtfulness to create soulful and impactful work. The studio is based in a former hat factory in Liverpool’s Fabric District.
Driven by the challenge to leave a positive footprint, SmithMatthias’ philosophy takes an exploratory and reductive approach to product design by stripping a concept down to its barest essentials whilst considering all aspects of form and function and introducing richness through material and craft. Their creative partnership thrives on problem solving to reimagine products with intelligence, innovation and attention to detail.
SmithMatthias’s rich toolbox of skills and experience, combined with their love of the natural world, informs an exploration of ideas rooted in craftsmanship and guided by sustainability in the materials they choose, the way they produce, and the lifecycles they design for. The result is products that are designed to last longer and have a low impact on the planet. They aspire is to move beyond sustainability towards regeneration, creating work that not only minimises harm but contributes to healthier systems of making and living
SmithMatthias has been sought out by international clients such as Hay, Modus, Allermuir and Deadgood among others.
