"It's very easy to get seduced by a pretty sketch," he says "but if you pursue this to the exclusion of all else it’s easy to miss something important”.

After completing a Master’s Degree at the Royal College of Art, Wallace spent more than a decade gaining experience working with companies in the UK, Europe, China and the US. 

In 1996 Wallace established Tim Wallace Design and since then he has developed a strong international client list and a range of products unprecedented in their success. His designs are produced throughout the world and include Abak Environments, Atlas Office Landscape and Memo for Herman Miller, Chameleon, 

Crossover and Salus for UK manufacturer Senator International as well as products from companies in both India and China.

Working with many different cultures has been the catalyst for Wallace's love of exploring, which has served him well as a designer. 

"I like to gather information and learn about the issues from as many sources as possible," he says. "I do a lot of research before I start to design and carry on exploring and testing as we progress."
