Peter Marigold's work is held in the public collection of the Victoria & Albert Museum, UK and has been exhibited globally, including at the MoMA New York, USA; the Design Museum Holon, Israel and 21_21 Design Sight, Japan. He has completed notable commissions for Bloomberg, The Museum of Childhood, Oyuna, Kvadrat in Denmark, and a porcelain collection for Meissen in Germany.

Peter’s practice centres on innovative craftsmanship and material experimentation, particularly through his ongoing collaboration with Japanese artisans from Hinoki Kougei. Together, they have created the Cleft Series, which involves splitting logs to reveal tactile, natural surfaces. Their exploration of the clefting process highlights the natural beauty and aromas of Japanese timbers, often enhanced by handwoven igusa grass. Peter’s Bleed Collection also exemplifies his innovative approach, featuring cabinets adorned with intricate surface patinas, achieved by controlled chemical reactions between steel and cedar wood. The designer’s work invites sensory interaction, blending natural forms and reactions with functional design whilst engaging with traditional and contemporary techniques.
