third Max Lamb Size|w.380 d.525 h.794 Material|spf *knockdown This is a 33/33/33 project that involves equal parts designer, producer who makes all the parts, and consumer who assembles it at home. Once upon a time, people were skilled, but now they are lazy with convenience, lack boldness, and even lack practical knowledge. This is very sad. We would like to promote the regaining of confidence in ``creating'' and ``using'' tools. That means consumers taking some responsibility and regaining their confidence beyond that, and "third" reflects that. This is a 33/33/33 project, where the designer and manufacturer constructing all the components, and the consumer assembling the chair at home, are equally involved in the completion of the piece. People used to be much more resourceful, but nowadays we have become lazy, less confident, or even lost the practical knowledge entirely. This is very sad. I would like to encourage people to re-discover their ability for building furniture and regain the confidence to work with tools. Giving the consumer a certain volume of responsibility, is for them to regain confidence. "third" is a project reflecting these ideas.. *This is a do-it-yourself kit. Max Lamb Born in 1980. He spent his childhood in Cornwall, a rural town on the western coast of England, and with a love of nature and a spirit of creating things. He began to explore materials from both traditional and unconventional methods. Even today, while taking advantage of the inherent goodness of the material, By reconsidering its function and through simple design that is effective in communication, we aim to create a positive relationship between the product, manufacturer, and user.

While working as a leader of lectures and workshops, Based in London, he works to create new designs by using traditional material concepts and being involved in the process himself. Max Lamb (UK, 1980) grew up in a bucolic seaside town in Cornwall, England, an upbringing that imbued him with a love of nature and a creative spirit leading him to explore materials by re-contextualizing them in both conventional and unconventional ways. He celebrates the inherent qualities of his materials and reconsiders their function. Lamb looks to design products that stimulate a positive three-way interaction between product, maker and user through a visual simplicity that effectively communicates the obvious. After completing a degree in Three-Dimensional Design at Northumbria University, Lamb went on to receive a Master's Degree in Design Products from the Royal College of Art, London in 2006. A frequent lecturer and design workshop leader, Lamb currently lives in London where he continues to develop new designs that challenge the traditional concepts of the materials he uses and the processes with which he manipulates them.
