Charles Trevelyan is a designer who came to his practice through a gradual transition from material science and engineering. His influences range from the natural textures and colors of his upbringing in Australia to the cellular and crystalline forms he encountered in electron microscopy earlier in his career, and more recently aerial photographs of natural, industrial and agricultural land. Favoring physical models and prototypes over sketching, he seeks a balance between ambiguity and familiarity, exploring how incremental alterations can shift an object from awkward to graceful.
