Freshwest

Freshwest are an award winning UK design duo, celebrated for their experimental and playful touch. Co-founders Marcus Beck and Simon Macro gained first class honours in fine art from Manchester Metropolitan University and University of Brighton respectively. Operating from their studio and workshop on the South West Wales coast, Freshwest’s output is an eclectic mix of furniture, lighting, interiors and design for the public realm.

At the heart of the studio’s practice is a passion for making, experimentation and play. Freshwest’s work often involves a sculptural response to materials, designing and prototyping objects without a preconceived design in place. Describing their work, Marcus and Simon put it simply, “we aim to make objects of intrigue and fascination, objects to make you stop, smile and consider”.
