Charlotte Kingsnorth

Charlotte Kingsnorth cuts through traditional craft techniques and hacks into industrial processes to realize an individual art form, producing works that reflect contemporary culture. Her work welds functionality with sculpture, where pre-existing chair frames are inflated with alter egos with a nod to the zeitgeist of the period they were made. She is interested in anthropomorphic forms and carves personality into the materials she uses. The psychological and physical connection between people and objects feeds into her work, questioning interpreted beauty and the accepted archetype of an object.

Kingsnorth is a graduate of the Royal College of Art's design products program and runs a London-based practice, working with private clients, galleries, brands, and global institutions, including The Bill Gates Foundation, Fendi, ByFar, SHOWstudio, Saatchi, Christie’s, The Crafts Council, The V&A, Holon Design Museum in Israel, the Triennale Design Museum in Milan. She has shown in design fairs at Nomad in Monaco, St. Moritz and Capri, Design Miami, New York, London, Paris, and Milan. She has works in the permanent collection at Turkey's Odunpazari Modern Museum.
