Start Branching Out.

Hilton_matthew_1

I had the good fortune last week to sit down with one of our designers, Matthew Hilton. Hilton is the designer of our Cross Extension Table which recently won an award from Elle Décor. He currently designs for Habitat, Case and dabbles a little bit for himself. I asked him a few questions, here's what he had to say.

Q: So, what would you like to design?
A: A bike, but a cool bike, a good looking bike, one where the lights and safety features are part of the frame, not an afterthought.

Q: What was the last big thing you bought?
A: A camera (Canon) and a ton of furniture from Ikea for my home in Spain.

Q: What do you wish someone would design?
A: A really good looking city car, one that is battery operated.

Q: What are you designing now?
A: A dining table for myself that I plan to make for two friends as well, if it comes out good.

Thanks Matthew for the candid responses. Make sure to send us a photo of the table when you're finished.

I am glad to see commuter bikes getting so much attention these days and would love to see a new bike design from Matthew.

On that subject, the bike that Michael Young designed for Giant is very nice. Check it out here:
