Samuel Wilkinson for Ex.t

“I’ve got a background in industrial design so my mindset is mainly logical to get to the final product.
The creative process can change at anytime depending on the design so inspiration can come from many sources, from research or observation or trial and error. I like to take on new challenges all the time, it’s so inspiring going into something I’ve never done before design wise. That sense of unknown is what really pushes one to try to find new and fresh solutions. With Ex.t I was very stimulated by the idea of making a product conceived for a specific setting, like the bathroom, but suitable for many other living spaces with a verstile aesthetic”
