This site contains a selection of work designed by Simon Maidment. The examples are intended to illustrate the breadth of his practice; consultancy work, design for manufacture, design for exhibition and conceptual work.
After graduating from the Royal College of Art and working for Tom Dixon he established his own consultancy Sam Design Ltd. Domestic and international clients have included Authentics, Mathmos, Driade, Levis, Offi and Homebase.
His work is concerned with the familiar and in particular our perception of materials, forms and making techniques. His approach to design reflects his interest in intelligent making; the shrewd and creative use of materials and manufacturing techniques.
Simon is Head of Product & Furniture Design at Kingston University and also teaches at the Royal College of Art.
