Michael Antrobus

Michael Antrobus is a British designer based in Copenhagen, where he founded his studio in 2016 after studying product and furniture design at Kingston University. Before Denmark he worked in studios in Spain and Austria, then in London for the sculptor Antony Gormley and for Tom Dixon.

His practice is hands-on and experimental, refining the parameters of a project by making rather than by drawing, so that forms emerge from the properties of materials and from the limits and openings of production. The studio designs furniture, lighting and accessories for serial production, among them Plane, a leather sling lounge chair made for VAERKTOJ 3, the Union lounge, the Drop pendant and table light, the Ground barware and the Shift table light, with an emphasis on structure, geometry and durable objects.
