About
Sebastian Cox is a furniture designer, maker and environmentalist based in south London. Sebastian founded his carbon-counting, forward-thinking, zero-waste workshop and design studio in 2010 on the principle that the past can be used to design and make the future.
He believes that what we harvest, make and buy can be part of the solutions to our biodiversity and climate crises if we ask ‘what resources does nature want to give us?’
Working to the workshop’s mission of storing 100 tonnes of CO2 in the wooden objects it makes each year, he produces heirloom furniture, lighting and home accessories and collaborates with other material experts who share his vision for a regenerative material future.
He has been labelled as one of the most influential designers in London by the London Evening Standard and listed amongst Forbes’ 30 under 30 to watch. His work has received a Design Guild Mark alongside other accolades from design publications including Elle Decoration, Homes & Gardens and EKKB. In 2022 he was recognised with design’s most prestigious title and made a Royal Designer for Industry (RDI).
