Michael Young for EOQ
The initial EOQ collections were made under the design
direction of Michael Young, one of the generation’s most
influential British designers.
Rooted in a spirit of enquiry and industrial adventure, they
use classic design principles with a new and constantly
evolving vocabulary, delivering perfectly engineered
pieces with sublime, sleek finishes. From extruded
aluminium to hand blown glass, each design is crafted
with precision engineering; quality that is evident when
admired up-close.
Steve Jones
After studying Industrial Design at Newcastle Polytechnic,
Steve Jones started his career in design consultancy. His
highly diverse design experience included ladies shoes,
books, toys and even naval architecture. Later he worked
extensively in the furniture industry, before moving into
lighting and forming Innermost with Russell Cameron in
1999.
His varied interest in design is reflected in the diverse
aesthetic of the Innermost collections. As well as his own
designs, Jones has brought in names like Michael Young,
Jarrod Lim, Corinna Warm, Stone Designs and Shin Azumi,
helping to shape a range that has breadth as well as
depth.
Designers Cutu Mazuelos and Eva Prego established
Stone Design Concepts Inc. in 1995 to tell a story from
their perspectives and without censorship. Having never
worked for anyone else, lessons were learned and skills
were mastered through personal hardship and sacrifice.
Starting with interior designs, stands and displays, they
worked with such names as Lexus, Telepizza, Havaianas,
and Coca Cola. They also designed furniture for brands
such as Muji Japan. Stone Designs is the constant search
for new languages, a passion and reason for living.
