Deriving inspiration from natural forms, Mike has also specialized in the technique of constructing three-dimensional forms through the stacking and interlocking of flat planes of material, most clearly demonstrated in his award winning Spacejunk shelving range.

Mike was raised in Wellington, New Zealand
and began producing furniture in the mid 1990s.

He moved to Nelson to complete a diploma in visual arts specialising in furniture design in 1997.

Mike later worked for well-known designer/makers David Haig and John Shaw before setting up a studio to produce his own contemporary designs.
