Selfish Customs
Selfish Customs is a design studio founded on curiosity and collaboration. Our practice focuses on materiality to develop sculptural pieces that have real relevance to their surroundings.
We are a creative partnership. Our career backgrounds have always been in technical roles - fabrication for fine art, design and film and so working with other technicians and makers is instinctive to our process. Our location in rural Suffolk has therefore led us to collaborate with local industry.
in building a relationship with these businesses we have become interested in the byproducts of farming and its satellite trades. Some of these materials once essential such as wool, are now all but valueless. In the hope of spotlighting this decline we have created a collection of objects from these remnants of rural trade. The collection celebrates the inherent qualities in the various materials by exposing them in playful, tactile forms.
