Scott Jarvie, UK designer and artist born in Scotland and based in Glasgow believes that the solution to any design problem can be assimilated by creative interrogation, research and thought. Being the son of a graphic designer and an automotive engineer Jarvie’s decision to study at Glasgow’s College of Building and Printing and then product design at Napier University’s School of Design and Media Arts (where he received first class honors and the University Medal) was natural.

Jarvie-Design has developed a range of full-scale furniture design prototypes that makes smart use of resources. The furniture pieces include for example the exploratory research of the Clutch Chair which was “painstakingly” crafted from 10,000 drinking straws and makes comment on our disposal culture. The chair emerged from his observation of the structural characteristics of trees. The project was chosen by Zaha Hadid as the Curator’s Choice at the Noise Festival 2008. Using the same material, Jarvie also produced a primitive spot light.
