Henry Cleaver is a British designer who creates self-assembly, customisable furniture, lighting and home accessories.
By drawing inspiration from Scandinavian design and the geometry of nature, along with a desire to bring personality into the home, Henry set himself a challenge: to create joyful products that the user can easily adapt and transform to suit and reflect their lifestyle.
“It is a tricky task finding the sweet spot between modular blocks of no identity and immovable units of no fun; but to succeed means the user becomes the creator, making every product different, every home unique and everyone a designer.”
Choices for the user are at the heart of Henry’s design principles. Instead of being a flat-pack headache, his designs encourage originality with the ability to change attributes like colour, form, size and complexity. There are no traditional fixings involved and no tools required in construction; everything clicks, slots or slides into place. This means that whether it’s a bookcase, lampshade or clock, it can be deconstructed, edited or adjusted with simplicity.
