Perhaps more than at any time before, the forces reshaping our world span every sphere of life, from environmental collapse and transformative technologies to divisive politics and economic instability. This talk by Pearson Lloyd explores how design helps us to embrace uncertainty as an opportunity to balance the social, environmental, and economic impacts of human activity.
Luke Pearson and Tom Lloyd established their London-based studio in 1997 after meeting at the Royal College of Art, where they studied Industrial Design and Furniture Design respectively. From the beginning, their partnership was shaped by duality : Luke was drawn to the poetry of form and efficiency, while Tom was fascinated by how furniture defines space and shapes behaviour. Over time, they influenced each other, finding common ground in a shared belief that function, form and feeling are inseparable.
That dual sensibility — tactile and spatial — continues to underpin their work. Over the years, Pearson Lloyd has earned an international reputation for designs that are both elegant and efficient, rational yet poetic. They are most at home working at the scale of industrial production, where beauty emerges from purpose.
Their work has been recognised with numerous accolades, including Designer of the Year by Dezeen, and inclusion in Fast Company’s list of the top 50 designers “Shaping the Future”. They teach at the Royal College of Art in London and ECAL in Lausanne. Both founders have been named Royal Designers for Industry – the UK’s highest design accolade. Pearson Lloyd’s exhibitions Material Change and Well Made have further articulated their commitment to thoughtful, enduring design through material culture, process and making.
