About

Tom CecilFrom a very early age, I was fascinated by how things worked and so took them apart and tried to put them together again. Throughout my childhood I was constantly making stuff, interested in anything and everything.

This led me to study mechanical engineering at the University of Sheffield. After four years, I left with a much better understanding of how and why things work and wanting more than ever to be designing and making.

I worked for a few years in engineering related roles, from a research engineer for the aerospace industry to an acoustic designer for an architectural practice, but longed to be back in a workshop.

In 2008 I moved into a studio in East London, focused on making my furniture and product designs whilst also developing ideas for large-scale installations.

My childhood interest in the world around me hasn’t stopped growing and feeding my mind with all kinds of ideas. Being at ease with different types of materials, processes, techniques and technology, I am excited by exploring the unknown and where it could take me.
