Platform: Simone Brewster

By Simone Brewster

The second installment of the Design Museum's accessible Platform series, dedicated to the multidisciplinary practice of Simone Brewster

The work of British designer Simone Brewster (born 1983) bridges art, design and architecture through a striking formal and material language. Rooted in both cultural identity and personal narrative, her practice spans furniture, jewelry and objects that explore scale, beauty and belonging.
Drawing on traditions of craft and modernist principles alike, Brewster's pieces evoke a sense of strength and intimacy--sculptural yet deeply human. Her use of wood, metal and pigment transforms familiar materials into expressions of power and self-definition, questioning how design shapes our understanding of heritage and the body.
This publication, the second volume of the new Platform series from the Design Museum, delves into Brewster's multidisciplinary practice through essays, images and an extended interview with the designer. Platform is dedicated to foregrounding contemporary design discourse and the transformative potential of design.
