‘My approach is driven by a design process,’ he asserts, emphasising the point with a touching account of a ‘average day’ for Invisible City and it’s founder. ‘I am a single father with two beautiful children! My day starts with them and then a cycle along the seafront to the studio. This is my headspace which almost always involves coffee and sketch books. Then I enter our studio in The North Laine, Brighton for a day of working with colour, materials, mockups and probably more coffee. I will also spend one day a week prototyping in our workshop. As designers and makers it is imperative that we have a tactile working relationship with the materials we use.’
His home is also filled with prototypes, alongside vintage treasures and books. In fact his bedside table is the first Incunabular side table in Black American Walnut that was ever made, which Moorhouse keeps close as it is the paradigm for everything his company has designed to date.
2014 is going to be a very exciting year for Invisible City as the team are currently working on its first ever lighting and seating pieces, which will be released in March.
