设计师简介:
Matthew Hilton ENGLAND (1957)
Matthew Hilton has learned from every piece he's designed, whether it was because it allowed him to work
in a new material, with a new manufacturer or for stylistic reasons. "All of my pieces are loaded with
meaning and memory and are very personal to me," says the British designer. Hilton, however, is quick to
add that he doesn't believe in design movements, and instead prefers to think of the design process as
part of the evolution of any object through history.
From an early age, Hilton was interested in painting, sculpture and architecture, and yet, the notion of
being a "designer" didn't occur to him until it was suggested by a tutor at Portsmouth College of Art.
The idea suited Hilton, who enrolled in the renowned Furniture and Design course at England's Kingston
Polytechnic. After graduation he worked as an industrial designer and model maker until 1984 when he set
up his own design studio/workshop. Two years later he launched a series of shelves at the Milan
Furniture Fair, and in 1991 he designed the Balzac Armchair, which was first received with circumspect
curiosity but then quickly embraced as a modern classic. Since the Balzac, however, Hilton's work has
taken on a less stylistic, more functional approach. He believes in creating furniture that people live
with, and his inspiration often comes from long-established furniture forms. Updating and reinventing
these forms, while keeping an eye on the future, is what shapes Hilton's designs today. In 2006,
Hilton's Cross Extension Table won the annual Elle Decoration Design Award for Best in Furniture. The
table showcases Hilton's advanced wood manufacturing techniques, as well as his sense of proportion,
scale and functionality. Hilton designs with the end user in mind, and whether that means a household of
ten or one, he takes pleasure in finding the fluid, easily adaptable solution to fit today's domestic
spaces.
