SmithMatthias
SmithMatthias is an award winning design studio founded by Jack Smith and Gemma Matthias.
The multi-disciplinary studio applies a rigour and thoughtfulness to create soulful and impactful work. The studio is based in a former hat factory in Liverpool’s Fabric District.
Driven by the challenge to leave a positive footprint, SmithMatthias’ philosophy takes an exploratory and reductive approach to product design by stripping a concept down to its barest essentials whilst considering all aspects of form and function and introducing richness through material and craft. Their creative partnership thrives on problem solving to reimagine products with intelligence, innovation and attention to detail.

SmithMatthias’s rich toolbox of skills and experience combined with their love of the natural world informs an exploration of ideas through quality of craftsmanship and sustainability of materials which all culminates into products that are kept for longer and have a low impact on the planet. They aspire to move beyond sustainability towards regeneration, creating work that not only minimises harm but contributes to healthier systems of making and living
