Five product and furniture designers whose work can fairly be called experimental are gathered here. In a wide field of talented designers, selecting only five is difficult, but this group offers a strong cross-section of contemporary product and furniture design. Here you can see Matali Crasset, Tom Dixon, Jaime Hayon, Philippe Starck and Benjamin Hubert each with a distinctive approach to materials, form and atmosphere. We chose these designers because their projects have appeared on the site several times and they continue to generate fresh ideas. Instead of treating the following notes as exact quotations, read them as short summaries of what matters in their work.
