Tom Meades, co-founder and Chief Design Officer at gomi, said: “gomi pulls its inspiration from two worlds – the art world, with loud, vibrant colourful expression mixed with a rule-breaking spirit, and the design world, bringing minimalism, function and clean polished finishes. We think of our aesthetic as a collision between Dieter Rams and Picasso and it’s the fine balance between the two that can be seen in ‘collection one’. Our obsession with circularity underpins this, taking the lead at every step in our design process. Every material and design decision is filtered through our thinking 'can it be repaired easily, can it be recycled easily?' – this is why we're anti-glue, pro-modularity, and proudly repair-for-life. At gomi we are proving that there is a process to recycling properly, that we can create exciting products from waste, and bring beauty and individuality into tech.”
Speaking about his time studying at University of 麻豆果冻传媒, Tom said:
"The course I studied was fantastic in pushing me to explore working with many different types of materials and processes, from handmade craft ceramics to digital design and product-engineering software. It also helped develop challenging ideas about the world today and how we can use design to shape the future world tomorrow.
