Simone Brewster is a London-based multidisciplinary artist, designer and cultural storyteller whose work spans furniture, sculpture, jewellery, painting and public art. She trained in architecture (at the Bartlett School of Architecture, UCL) before earning an MA in Design Products at the Royal College of Art, a background that continues to shape her spatial understanding.
Her creative philosophy centres on what she’s named “intimate architectures,” designing objects and forms that mediate space, memory, who we are and where we come from.
Her work and distinct perspective have attracted invitations to speak at design forums, lecture at universities and advise museums, as well as garnering wide media attention. She has been featured by The New York Times, described as a “hands-on maker.” In 2023, she was selected as the commission-winner for the London Design Festival (LDF), creating a major public-facing installation: “Spirit of Place”, marrying her sculptural language with environmental consciousness; collaborating with the global leader in cork production, Amorim Cork.
In 2026, Brewster will headline Platform, at the Design Museum, UK. This annual display dedicated to highlighting the talent and contribution of one contemporary design practitioner, will be on display for 11 months.
Through her interdisciplinary practice, Simone Brewster bridges conventional boundaries between art, design, craft and architecture- asserting that objects, whether worn, sat on or simply seen, carry deep cultural, and emotional resonance.
Brewster’s work has been acquired by several major public institutions. Her pieces are included in the permanent collections of the Victoria & Albert Museum (V&A), The Museum of London, Walker Art Gallery (Liverpool) and the Smithsonian Museum Washington.
