Just back from the Clerkwenwell Design Week in London we would like to tell you about one of our British designers; Michael Soudeau.

Michael Soudeau

Michael Sodeau was born in London in 1969. He studied product design at Central Saint Martins College of Art & Design where he graduated in 1994. He was a founding partner of Inflate, and set up his own design studio Michael Sodeau Partnership in 1997.

In addition to designing for MSP, his own production company, Michael has designed for several international manufacturers besides OFFECCT. He has exhibited internationally with solo shows in London, New York, Stockholm and Tokyo, with a retrospective show in Paris.

Michael has designs in the permanent collection of the V&A Museum and a book about his work entitled ‘Once upon a line’ and edited by Alexander Payne was published in 2000.

Most recently Michael developed a collection of stationary products for ANYTHING, a brand developed by Sodeau for Suikosha, which has won the BLUEPRINT AWARD for best new design company, swiftly followed by a RED DOT AWARD for the ‘Best of Best’ in the product design category.

For OFFECCT Michael has designed OYSTER, a form-pressed steel easy chair with cold foam, upholstered in fabric or leather, and a chromed swivel frame.
