Pearson Lloyd is a London-based design studio working across a wide variety of disciplines including furniture, product, transport, and the public realm. The studio was founded by Tom Lloyd and Luke Pearson in 1997. Lloyd and Pearson met while studying at the Royal College of Art in the early 1990s, and the partnership was formed out of a shared desire to bridge the disparate cultures of furniture and product design.
Luke Pearson completed a Masters Degree MA (RCA) in Furniture Design at the Royal College of Art in 1993. The same year Tom Lloyd completed a Masters Degree MA (RCA) in Industrial Design, also at the Royal College of Art. The studio's work has commanded both respect in the market and from industry critics, winning numerous awards. Both Luke and Tom have been granted the distinction of Royal Designer for Industry. In 2008 Pearson Lloyd was also selected for "Europe's 40 under 40," and in 2012 Fast Company named them among the 50 most influential people shaping the future.
