Tara Ashe
Lead Designer
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.

Our UK Studio
Home of Block Design
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.

Certified B-Corp
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.

Our Manufacturing
As a female-founded business, we're proud to design and manufacture all our products in-house.
With over 60% of our products made in the UK, we have full control over the production process and enjoy strong relationships with local manufacturers. Whether it's homeware, desk accessories, games or gifts, all our products are designed to bring creativity and colour into your everyday life.

Our Ethos
Giving Back
As part of our ongoing commitment to the environment, we are also members of 1% for the Planet, a pledge to donate 1% of our annual revenue, not just our profits, to certified environmental organizations around the world. These funds directly support projects focused on climate action, nature conservation, reforestation and natural resource protection.
By partnering with 1% for the Planet, we aim to contribute to a meaningful and measurable impact for the planet and future generations.
