Atelier Thirty Four is a London-based design consultancy established in 2022 by Dave Britton and Harry Hasson.
We specialise in product, furniture, lighting and interior design for businesses and organisations in the UK and internationally.
We are interested with honesty in design, things that feel familiar and have a certain ‘rightness’.
A core part of our process is model making and prototyping. Understanding materials and how things are made, but also getting a sense of scale and proportion is a key part of our design development.
We want to form lasting relationships with our clients that go beyond the traditional designer/client rapport.
Dave joined Matthew Hilton Studio in 2006 with Harry joining in 2010, both working there until 2024. During their time in the studio they collaborated with clients including Case, Christopher Farr, Conran, Crane, De La Espada, Ercol, Habitat, Heals, Nanimarquina and SCP.
We have a holistic view of design, materials and manufacturing. It is important to us to work closely with the factories and workshops where our products are made. Meeting the people who are making the designs, discovering their capabilities but also their limitations, is a necessary part of the process.
The best products come from problem solving in both design and manufacture, and by considering all aspects of how something is made then we get the best out of the people we are working with.
Design Consulting is a core part of our studio, providing a structured yet flexible approach to help clients navigate the complexities of design. Whether the goal is to refine an established concept or bring a fresh idea to life, we focus on aligning creative solutions with practical objectives.
We collaborate with designers, architects and inventors to identify opportunities, address challenges, and shape designs that are as thoughtful as they are effective. We deliver projects that are functional, sensible, and manufacturable.
Dave and Harry are sessional lecturers on the Product Design courses at Ravensbourne University and The University of Brighton.
