The art, craft, and science of making has been at the root of Foster + Partners Industrial Design for decades. Founded by Lord Foster, today the studio develops and delivers ideas-led products at every scale, from tables to turbines, in conjunction with manufacturers, craftspeople, and startups.
Working within an integrated design practice – collaboration is at the heart of Foster + Partners Industrial Design’s ethos – and every product is shaped by a wealth of experiences and global expertise. The studio is driven by principles of sustainability, combining rigorous research with a ‘design by making’ ethos. All projects are advanced through prototyping and making as an iterative approach – refining designs through trial and error, digital modelling, and physical craftsmanship.
