Charlie Humble-Thomas

Charlie Humble-Thomas designs industrial objects that balance familiarity with surprise. The items he makes draw on our sense of nostalgia and our desire for playful functionality. His work is often centred around manufacturing. Whether traditional or modern, one obsession is in fine tuning processes to make objects of a timeless quality where possible. An ongoing enquiry within his work is around the longevity of items and how this informs choices around materials and construction. Working for some of London’s leading consultancies including Map Project Office & Barber Osgerby, he now consults part time for the London based technology brand Nothing. Recent works include the Parasol Lamp for Atelier 100, the Boro’ Lighting Family designed for ARAM store’s 60th Anniversary showcase. In 2023 he co-founded the design research collective, Computer Room, who have collaborated with the British Council. His workshop office is in Hoxton.
