More About Aaron Scott Design
The primary focus of my design practice is on creating objects that have a complex or expansive relationship to space. I’m interested in furniture and lighting whose forms suggest movement, dynamism and instability. I often use plaster models to visualize new ideas, which also helps me determine how to lay out the wood for the structure of my stacked-lamination pieces.
