STUDIO PLATFORM first joined forces at the Royal College of Art, where Nick Jinkinson and Nick Paterson studied together under the leadership of world-renowned designer, Ron Arad. Studio Platform was named after the teaching ‘Platforms’ which they experienced at the RCA. May 2003: Studio Platform is to be included in the forthcoming book, Design UK volume 2 by Max Fraser. 2002-2003: Nick and Nick have been visiting lecturers at the Royal College of Art, The Surrey Institute University College and Lapland University, Finland. “Nick and Nick use simple observations of peoples interactions with objects as an entry point into projects. They believe that form follows thought”. The most current British council commission was to send Nick Paterson on a four month consultancy programme to the Philippines, and design home products for the export market. Now product design consultants for the Filipino government, designing over 300 products for the Manila FAME International show in April.
