Welcome to Block Design! We’re a small, Cornwall-based business passionate about creating bold, colour-led designs that bring joy to everyday life.

Block Design began in 2000, shortly after I graduated. I was keen to combine a passion for design with my engineering background, to create a range of functional, beautiful lifestyle products.

The first Block product was a vase, since then we have added desk accessories, jewellery and more homeware to the collection.

Each day the studio is a collaborative hub of creativity, colour and innovation. Every product begins life in the studio, situated above our workshop. We work hard to ensure we deliver the highest quality design and finish.

Our aim is to bring joy, infusing life with colour, distinctive design and products made to last.

In 2023 we received certification as a B Corporation, joining a growing group of companies reinventing business by pursuing purpose as well as profit. We have been certified as having met rigorous social and environmental standards which represent our commitment to goals outside of shareholder profit. We are now part of a community of 7,000 businesses globally who have certified as B Corps. As part of 1% For The Planet we are also committed to donating 1% of our annual sales to environmental organizations.

We work with the best independent retailers in the world such as Eataly and Papier Tigre. Our products can be found in design stores and museums internationally including Moma and Tate Modern.

We exhibit at trade shows in New York and London, my favourite time of year! We love meeting our stockists and catching up with other design companies.

Our products celebrate your creativity. We aim to empower you to achieve your personal and professional goals.

We’re inspired when we see our products in your beautiful homes and studios, so please do keep tagging us on Instagram: @blockdesign
