Throughout his education, Neil Conley has been obsessed with the natural environment and this is reflected in his work both a designer and illustrator. Earn/Urn is the by-product of the Xendless project — Neil’s final year project on the 3D Design course at Northumbria University. The aim of the project was to develop a sustainable carbon-fiber composite, as well as a manufacturing process that made it suitable for the design of fine products. The almost indestructible nature of this material has led to huge amounts of waste around the world. But recent advances in carbon-fiber recycling now make it possible to unlock the fibers from these objects, leaving fibers “as pure as the virgin material,” prime for re-use

John-Paul Philippe is a multi-talented painter and designer who divides his time between his Soho work studio, bucolic upstate home and roster of clients around the world. His distinctively modernist painting style put him on the map, and John-Paul now references this clean, graphic style in projects as diverse as furniture design, murals, large scale sculpture and even a private chapel in the Dominican Republic. John-Paul has also collaborated with Barneys New York on design components for a dozen stores, both in the US and Japan. John-Paul’s latest collaboration with west elm successfully meshes his original and whimsical look with the west elm aesthetic in the form of various chic and covetable new pieces including pillows, sculptures and framed drawings. Here’s some good stuff that’s been influencing John-Paul lately: 1.
