01. Parti Studio
For a studio that has been predominantly practising architecture for the past eight years, it is an exciting moment for Parti to start designing its own objects. 'We have always been interested in work of a variety of scales,' says Eleanor Hill, founding director of the London-based studio, which she created with Tom Leahy in 2015. Parti's first foray into lighting, the 'Puddle' collection, was the result of a residency at experimental fabrication workshop Grymsdyke Farm in Buckinghamshire, where a series of creatives were invited to design site-inspired dining homewares for the exhibition 'The Farm Shop', held at Fels Gallery during London Design Festival. Parti chose to design lighting, influenced by that common muddy farmyard sight, the puddle. But unlike the murky rainwater found on the farm, these designs are reflective and refined. 'We wanted to create something that captures the joy and fun of a dinner party. We wanted to enhance the colours, movement and food at the table.' parti.global
