Gemma Holt trained as both artist and designer and studied Design Products at the Royal College of Art. She works in a variety of materials, from wood to precious metals, creating objects that defy categorisation – each piece of work is conceived as both a work of art and of design, neither driven solely by function nor by aesthetics. Her methods combine craftsmanship with conceptual rigour, eliminating superfluous decoration and meaning. Every object is the expression of an idea, distilled into its most simple form.
