Leila is a industrial designer based in London with a keen interest for furniture and product development. Her approach to design draws on observation from daily life but also from a growing interest in creatively using machinery, factories and production constraints. Working closely with craftsmen and manufacturers and with flair for forms and enhancing usability, it is possible to produce objects that are relevant in today's market by their high value vs affordable price.
