This month David Fox celebrates 10 years of successful industrial and product design, over the coming weeks we would like to take you on a product journey, introducing some of the products, the philosophies that has made the company what it is today. Company Owner, and designer David Fox graduated with a BA (hons) in Industrial design from the University of Teesside in 1996.
David spent 5 years in a design and design management position with Yorkshire based tubular bedroom furniture manufacturer Jay-be ltd.
In 2002 geared with a broad understanding of the retail furniture sector, and experience in a wide range of manufacturing techniques, David established 4orm Design, an industrial / Product design consultancy.
Cap in hand, he offered his services to the domestic sector, despite many a success in developing high volume selling contemporary beds, the market was not receptive to his future thought, and felt it was easier to buy from china, than to innovate and craft new philosophies.
Seduced by Italian chair design at the time, David set about trying to persuade the UK contract chair manufacturers to give him ago, with no experience In this sector, found the going very tough. Undeterred he set about designing 4 chairs. One being the ever popular Kruze, which is now produced by boss design, Smile which was taken by Nomique, Korus became a connection product, and Zone, for pledge office chairs.
In 2009 the business changed over to David Fox design, a name more suited to the designer.
10 years from conception, David Fox has had the pleasure of working in varied sectors from contract furniture and fabric, through to bathroom brassware, his varied clients have Included :-
Tonon Italia, Boss Design, Connection, Ocee Design, Naughtone, BMA Nomique, Crofts and Assinder, Pledge Office Chairs, Mission Speakers, Camira Fabrics, Vado.
We hope the products have given as much enjoyment, as they did to create, and would like to thank everyone that has specified or supported the Company in its quest, and optimistically look forward to the next decade.
Many thanks.
