Nick Ross (1986) was born and raised in Scotland, with parts of his family bearing Swedish heritage. After creative studies in Aberdeen, Nick headed to Stockholm for studies at Konstfack, the country’s greatest university for arts, crafts and design. Post graduation, he worked for furniture designer and architect Matti Klenell, until the launch of his own studio in 2014. Ever since, Nick Ross’ work has obtained international recognition, and prestigious awards.
Through an interest in early forms of architecture and the connection between material and human history, Nick’s design language stems from origin shapes, combining sculptural ideas with industrial details. Within his work, forms such as circles, triangles and squares are refined, and redefined, with current narratives and behaviours in mind.
“When you work with these simple shapes, you start dealing with very precise relationships between form and space. That’s where the refinement comes. And that’s where the real design, for me, takes place”, says Nick Ross.
