John Tree

John Tree is a London-based product designer working across furniture, lighting and consumer electronics. He established his own studio in 2016, after working in the design teams at Sony and at Jasper Morrison’s studio in London.

The practice develops projects with manufacturers including HAY, Muuto, Hydro, NaughtOne, Tala, Resident, Nine, VG&P, Allermuir, Vaarnii, Motorola and ROLI, spanning seating, tables, lamps, audio products and a Walkman. Tree’s pared-back approach reduces each piece to its essential elements, combining industrial processes with a quiet formal language that seeks to extend the life of the object; he is also an occasional visiting tutor at the Royal College of Art and an external assessor at ECAL.
