Exploring the inherent possibilities of stone in a contemporary context, this work investigates how material and place inform design. In collaboration with the Portland Sculpture & Quarry Trust, Herbie has developed a deeper understanding of Portland Stone, reinforcing the importance of engaging with a material and its context before beginning any design process.

Through this close collaboration, Herbie has contributed his perspective to the Trust’s Projects in Stone, engaging with a range of their ongoing work. Further details of these projects will emerge in the coming months as the research and design continue to develop.
