Luke Pearson and Tom Lloyd founded PearsonLloyd design studio in 1997. Since then, the London-based practice has served many sectors- including healthcare, office furniture, aviation and urban design- with a focus on identifying and responding to the shifting patterns of behavior in contemporary life. PearsonLloyd takes a collaborative approach to its work, embracing the restrictions imposed by production, the market, and other factors that define a brief. It’s work is grounded in research, and at the core is an attempt to understand the relationship between a product, its place, and the way people use it. in 2008, Tom and Luke were awarded the distinction of Royal Designers for Industry by The Royal Society of Arts. In August 2012, they were named one of the Top 50 Designers Shaping the Future by Fast Company magazine in New York.
In 2016, Teknion launched Zones, a comprehensive collection of furniture and workplace applications that address new workstyles and applications.
