John Bennett

After graduating from the Royal College of Art he began working with Tecno in Milano on a number of projects. Learning to take ideas and concepts through to production by following the principals of designing for industrial processes and the concept of “Design without Fashion” were to become a characteristic to be found in many of his future works as an independent design consultancy.
In 1987 he opened a studio in Milano specializing in furniture and product design and his work further focussed on the pursuit of combining human factors, materials and manufacturing processes in the final concept.
His work has been exhibited and received awards for “ADI Design Index”, “Design Plus – Light and Building Award”, “Good Design”, The Chicago Athenaeum and “Best of NeoCon Competition” and Chicago Editor’s Choice Award. Silver Prize CIFF 2012. China. MIFF 2016 the Platinum award for best office furniture category.
