Gigi Cooke

Bath Spa University

Furniture Design BFA

My passion lies in exploring materiality & processes. I am driven by a philosophy that centres on elevating human interaction through sensitive design. While wanting to create furniture that combines function & style but with sustainable credentials that live up to those claims. Growing up on the island of Jersey in the British Isles, sowed the seed for that sustainable mindset; Jersey is truly beautiful with rich biodiversity, which not only provides inspiration for my designs but also instils in me a fire to create products that are sensitive to how we live and that limit our impact on the planet. I studied Furniture and Product design at Bath Spa University, who was shortlisted for Young Furniture Designer of the Year.
