Timothy John's first passion for design was ignited as a young boy: when he remembers waking up in the middle of the night and trying to figure out how to make a fishing lure out of a teaspoon. Many many years later, after completing a building apprenticeship and meeting his interior designer wife, he realised his true passion lay in the act of design itself. Driven by a fascination with a particular material, form or process, his pieces are unique with a playful bent. Locally he is represented at Design 55 and Essenze.

The Boss chair is made from powder coated steel and industrial shock cord. The steel frame draws its influence from the pioneers of modern furniture design. Over 300 metres of shock card is woven around the structure, to give it its tightly bound aesthetic. It can be used for indoor or outdoor use.

The Patriarch clock has a powerful presence and often features elaboratively carved ornamentation. Extremely minimal in its approach, it has been designed to be enjoyed from a 360 degree perspective, with every inch of it created for view. Available in a number of colours, this version was inspired by the 'colour blocking' trend in fashion.
