Whilst originally from Perth in Western Australia, Charles Trevelyan has been working in London for several years; initially in graphic design before moving to 3D design. In 2005 he set up the design studio Viable London with Magnus Long and Gala Wright, which, in just a few years has gained international recognition. He continues to work on individual projects, and has recently been working with Carpenters Workshop Gallery in London.

 

Charles Trevelyan’s work draws strongly on his graphic design background, extrapolating two dimensional elements into three dimensional forms. Often angular and geometric like the Elle Decoration award nominated Shelflife, his furniture displays a distinct visual character and an ingenious use of positive and negative space. His work has been widely published in books and magazines around the world, and has been exhibited at the Design Museum in London.
