Curve, 94 Inches Cedar Bench, Designed by Brodie Neill, Made in Italy

Brodie Neill is a dynamic designer of modern and minimalist furniture that features an expressive approach to function. He plays with seamless, flowing forms while maintaining a sensitivity to the environmental impact of his work. Known for his critically acclaimed pieces that use discarded materials, he always puts the conservation of resources and protection of the environment first.

Born in Tasmania, Neill built furniture as a teenager in his spare time, using any simple tools at his disposal, before studying furniture design at the University of Tasmania. He graduated in 2001 with honors and then completed his master’s degree at the Rhode Island School of Design in 2004. After a successful stint working for leading brands in New York, he established his studio in the East End of London, where he began experimenting with ocean plastics and converting them into eco-friendly furnishings.

His work includes the acclaimed E-Turn chair, the Jet table, the Remix chaise longue and the @ Chair, which was included in Time Magazine’s Design 100. His Flotsam bench, made from plastic waste extracted from the ocean, was one of the innovative furnishings introduced at the 2019 Salone del Mobile in Milan. 

Due to his sustainable design practices, he has been a guest speaker at the European Parliament and the United Nations. Since launching his atelier, Neill has worked with an impressive roster of clients, including Riva 1920, Swarovski and Kundalini, and has collaborated with international brands such as Microsoft, Mercedes-Benz and Alexander McQueen. He has won international design awards and exhibited extensively, including a solo show at the New York fashion showroom of Rubin & Chapelle.
