Julian Mayor
Designer
Julian Mayor is an artist and designer based in East London. His work is inspired by the sculptural possibilities of computers combined with industrial as well as craft-making processes. After graduating from the Royal College of Art in 2000 he worked for Tom Dixon, Pentagram, and other design studios before teaching 3D modeling at the London College of Communication. Mayor has been exhibiting his work since 2007. His designs have been shown at the V&A London and The Museum of Art and Design New York. Julian has also installed a permanent series of sculptural benches in a park behind the Tate Britain, London.
Mayor digitally designs his pieces using sophisticated CAD applications and then meticulously hand-makes each one using traditional welding techniques. The surfaces are mirror-smooth anodized stainless steel that warps and twists when the seams are welded and then left raw, allowing a viewer to experience and understand the craftsmanship behind the construction. Mayor’s technique is inspired by the sculptural possibilities of a high-tech approach while also embracing the idiosyncrasies and individuality of the hand-made. Welded Mirror Polished Stainless Steel.
