The Agency of Design was formed by Rich Gilbert, Adam Paterson and Matthew Laws in 2009, having worked together at the Royal College of Art. Our founding project was Design Out Waste; where we explored sustainability in industrial design. We came up with research led solutions that were both technical and systemic without the compromise of aesthetics and user experience.

As a team we built up a common vision - we believe that sustainability is not a design fad, rather, a design revolution. With backgrounds of product design, engineering and communication, we are well equipped to help fuel big change.

Always aiming to be provocative and eye-catching, our work takes many different approaches including products, design tools and installation pieces.
