As part of my hunt for Scotland's up and coming design names I had the pleasure of discovering the talent that is Glasgow-based furniture maker John Galvin.
Galleries from New York to Manchester are now clamouring to exhibit his designs after his work was spotted at London Design Week 2011. However, what's even more exciting than the fact he’s about to go global, is his passion for his craft. Inspired by the clean lines and simplicity of the great Danish designers, he could chat furniture all day but I will just let his images do the talking.
John’s strikingly simple aesthetic reminds me of another cool young design thing, South African furniture maker James Mudge. Letting the wood’s natural grain and the beauty of traditional joinery techniques take centre stage, James is very much in demand both in his hometown of Cape Town and abroad.
