ABOUT

Jacob Marks is a South-London design studio focusing on the expressive reimagining of natural materials, often using those that are overlooked or disregarded to produce defined and distinctive contemporary works. 

 

Fundamental to the practice is research into the landscapes materials are harvested from and how design can be used as a tool to address a range of complex social and ecological issues. Projects so far have explored how a revival of the pine resin industry could provide a renewable and carbon negative material that rivals plastic, how thoughtful timber selection can support mixed British woodlands and the role innovation can play in reviving traditional coppicing crafts. 
 

Marks has been included in a range of exhibitions both internationally and in the UK. In 2026 he was selected as a Toast New Maker, and his work continues to be featured in publications such as Home & Gardens, The Times Newspaper and Wallpaper Magazine.

Marks is also founder of the collaborative maker space Studio Plait and a core member of the collective Design Everything.
