Hitting new heights
When it comes to cutting-edge
design, Glasgow is still tops
Based in Glasgow, One Foot Taller is a product and interior
design company, specialising in furniture and lighting.
The firm caters to both corporate clients – such
as Marks & Spencer and Habitat – as well as private
customers (often in collaboration with fellow Glaswegian
designers Timorous Beasties). It will also produce
sculptural pieces on a one-off basis. Its influence is set
to extend beyond your living room, too, as One Foot
Taller’s designers also teach at the Glasgow School of Art.
Employing new and traditional processes, One Foot Taller
prides itself on employing mainly UK manufacturers.
Choose from the spaceship-like Ethel floor lamp (from
£45) and the aptly named Undulate bench (from £380), or
bring out the child within you with jelly seats (from £360).
