Based in Melbourne, Webster Design Office is dedicated to the creation and production of high value crafted designs.
Through deep analysis, craft, and our strategic approach, we empower business owners, individuals, visionaries, and creatives to transform their ideas into special designs, high value brand experiences, uncover what is their next value add, and where to succeed.
Design has often been seen as an act of reduction; seeking purity, function, lightness and softness within the bounds of a context we are told to design within. Design can also be fun or serious, complex or seemingly simple, joyous or sombre. Ultimately, I have found that design is often about trying to find the tension between these themes.
Instead of
being driven by a future or by speculation as many designers seem to be, we are much more drawn to trying to find something new, within constraints and consideration of time where efficiency and form can work together.
Time is ultimately what drives design, whether it is the time taken to design an object, or the deeper sense of time instilled in the materials, patina, and craft of the design. Good design is often described as being ‘timeless’ this implies they are almost without time. Instead, good design carries this weight, it owns time. Through using well designed objects however, time slows, a good object is rich in time; that is the greatest luxury of all. Good design is therefore ‘time-full’.
