Field ExperimentsField Experiments is a nomadic design collective founded by Paul Marcus Fuog, Benjamin Harrison Bryant and Karim Charlebois-Zariffa. Through temporary residencies, research and collaboration with local makers, the collective explores how objects can communicate stories of people and place. Working at the intersection of craft, design and cultural exchange, Field Experiments develops artefacts and souvenirs that translate local histories, materials and everyday observations into tangible forms.
We maintain an ongoing programme of study and self-directed projects, exploring questions that sit adjacent to and often inform our wider practice. This section brings together those investigations. Recent threads of enquiry have centred on ecological thinking, the material and conceptual possibilities of reuse, and the increasingly connected relationship between digital and physical environments. These investigations take many forms, from written pieces and visual experiments to prototypes and small publications. We see this research as essential to how the studio evolves. A space to test ideas, build new vocabularies, and consider how design might respond to the conditions of the present.
