Irene Huang
Irene Huang is a London-based designer maker with a background in design and architecture. She works primarily with wood and ceramics, designing and making each piece herself. Her practice combines structural thinking with hands-on craft, often using reclaimed and offcut materials. By integrating ceramic elements into wooden furniture, she explores how strength, fragility, and adaptability can exist within the same object. Her work reflects an interest in low-waste making, modularity, and the ways everyday furniture can feel personal, playful, and quietly considered.
My background in design and architecture shapes how I think about design, structure and construction. Now, working independently, I combine wood and ceramic within furniture pieces that I design and build myself. I’m interested in how these materials support each other — wood providing framework and strength, ceramic introducing texture and intimacy. Bringing them together allows me to explore contrast, care, and balance. Through a hands-on process, I aim to create objects that feel thoughtful and grounded, reflecting everyday rituals and the spaces we share.
