On Stage Design Indaba 2009: BarberOsgerby

Design should have a useful function, BarberOsgerby believe. Product design also presents opportunities for experimentation with colour and form. BarberOsgerby share some of their most interesting projects and also talk about mass production, product testing procedures and environmental concerns.

After completing their Masters in Architecture at the Royal College of Art, Edward Barber and Jay Osgerby founded BarberOsgerby in 1996 and Universal Design Studio Ltd in 2001. They have worked for a diverse range of international clients including Cappellini, Magis, Flos, ClassiCon, Venini, Isokon Plus and Swarovski.
