Scott Garcia BA (Hons) Designer & Tutor

Driven by an ambition to question the world around us, Scott Garcia focuses on ideas and concepts rather than traditional form and function.

Cross-breeding design with art, Scott uses products as a vehicle to explore and subvert the emotional, social and lyrical meanings of the everyday things we think we know so well.

Expanding the realm of objects beyond the joys of pure material desire and practical functionality, Scott Garcia provokes new avenues of thinking and discussion into the frame of contemporary design.
