SHY Design Studio is a Glasgow based practice founded in 2018, creating furniture, lighting, and interior objet. The studio works from both a design and artistic perspective, using a narrative driven process to explore their own interpretations of traditional archetypes.

Their practice is closely concerned with the emotional engagement and relationships capable between users and objects. Taking no interest in trends, it is material and process that are inherent to the stories they tell. These narratives are often rooted in design or craft-based histories, resultantly there is a history of furniture, craft and material laced throughout their pieces.

Their work typically uses strong simple forms in engaging, sometimes unconventional ways. Skilled in working across a range of materials they consider to be noble, natural, and sustainable whilst exploring production skills both time honoured and modern.

SHY have exhibited widely in Europe including Salone Del Mobile, Dutch Design Week, London Design Festival and Collect.
