Block Design

UK company Block Design began in 2000, shortly after owner Tara Ashe graduated. Keen to combine a passion for design with her engineering background, Tara set out to create a range of functional, beautiful lifestyle products. The first Block product was a vase, since then they have added desk accessories, jewellery and more homeware to the collection. 20 years on Tara proudly leads a team of seven creatives, each integral to design and production. Each day the studio is a collaborative hub of creativity, colour and innovation. Every one of Block's products begins life in the studio, situated above their workshop in Cornwall, UK. They work hard to ensure they deliver the highest quality design and finish. Colour is integral to Block's collection. Palettes are carefully selected, considering current trends and also celebrating classic movements in design. Using no more than two components, each product offers a simple functional solution for desk and home.
