James Howe’s pieces encapsulate the delight of adventure, using materials in novel ways and reinventing old crafts. A minimalist, James draws inspiration from what he observes in nature, city landscapes, and utilitarian man-made objects.
James always seeks to pioneer new ground, creating pieces which are both beautiful and novel in their form and use of materials. His pieces are textual, tactile and imbued with a lightness and sophistication of form.
He has been recognised in a number of design awards, including being named one of six finalists in the 2017 Australian Furniture Design Award.
