Sam Buxton
Born in London in 1972, Buxton studied furniture design at Middlesex University before starting at the RCA in 1997. After graduation he shared a studio – Design Laboratory – with a fellow RCA graduate, the Danish designer Mathias Bengtsson. Now working on his own, Buxton has developed commercial projects for Kenzo, Habitat and Eurolounge as well as the burgeoning MIKRO-Man collection which is now expanding into environments with a stainless steel fold-up MIKRO-House. He was one of the four designers shortlisted for the Design Museum’s Designer of the Year award in 2004.
