Committee
British Designers
Committee is husband and wife Harry Richardson and Clare Page, who met whilst studying fine art. Their interest in ‘humourous and beautiful projects’ has led to commercial products as varied as lighting, rugs, ornaments, furniture, textiles and wallpaper, whilst their London based studio also maintains an art practice producing self-initiated and commissioned works born of academic interest.

Each individually commissioned Kebab Lamp isassembled from an eclectic mix of found objectsand keepsakes, a careful juxtaposition of bothcommon and high-brow items. The process ofplacing ancient pots, birdcages, plumbing partsand figurines together to form a skewered mixof texture and form is an art that takes the duoweeks to put together.
In all of their work Committee’s main aim is toembed a cerebral investigation into items thatnevertheless remain simply dedicated to beauty,function and a sense of poetry of their own.
