met whilst studying together at London's Royal College of Art. Together they formed their design studio, "BarberOsgerby" in 1996. The company grew quickly, winning key commissions and earning this dynamic duo much acclaim for their refreshing design aesthetic. A long standing relationship with Giulio Cappellini has followed an early patronisation from the prolific manufacturer and the loop table, one of the studio's earliest design has now reached iconic status.
