Jess Humpston is a Naarm/Melbourne based interdisciplinary designer and a graduate of the Sturt School for Wood. A background in both fashion and interior design has given Jess a finely tuned understanding of the space a piece of furniture inhabits and a sensitivity to the interaction between person and object. Working predominantly in timber, Jess’s work balances traditional woodworking with architectural character, contrasting clean lines with tactility of the hand-made. Jess’s work is minimal, yet detail focussed and her practice elevates everyday functional requirements with the unexpected.
