John Pawson was born in Yorkshire, in the north
of England, in 1949. As Alvar Aalto’s bronze door
handle has been characterised as the ‘handshake of
a building’, so a sense of engaging with the essence
of a philosophy of space through everything the
eye sees or the hand touches is a defining aspect
of Pawson’s work. Everything is traceable back to a
consistent set of preoccupations with mass, volume,
surface, proportion, junction, geometry, repetition,
light and ritual. In this way, even something as
modest as a fork can become a vehicle for much
broader ideas about how we live and what we value.
