Ted Synnott has established a noteworthy reputation as an industrial designer and furniture maker. His work is a testament to his profound appreciation for craftsmanship and his design ethos is anchored in the belief that good design should be simple, intuitive and inherently useful, always infused with an element of surprise. From his base in Auckland, New Zealand, he draws inspiration from the world at large, continually striving to enhance his designs through careful attention to the finer details. Characterised by straight lines and artistic curves, the resulting forms are not merely functional; they transcend utility to become sculptural pieces that exude both warmth and a sense of presence. Ted is the designer of the Volume Side Table, a multifunctional piece open to interpretation.
