Born 1984 | United Kingdom
Benjamin Hubert is a British industrial designer and entrepreneur best known as the founder and Creative Director of LAYER, the London-based studio he established in 2015 as a platform for multidisciplinary, experience-driven design. His work moves across furniture, lighting, technology, mobility, and digital systems, always with a strong emphasis on usability, material intelligence, and the ways design can shape everyday life. LAYER's official studio profile describes this approach as multi-layered and collaborative, while recent coverage highlights Hubert's interest in the intersection of technology, sustainability, and the human condition.
Before founding LAYER, Hubert studied Industrial Design and Technology at Loughborough University, graduating in 2006, and worked at DCA Design, Seymour Powell, and Tangerine. He launched his own studio in London in 2007, later evolving that practice into LAYER. Over the years, he has collaborated with leading global brands across furniture and product design, developing a body of work admired for its clarity, lightness, and future-facing sensibility. His design language feels rigorous yet approachable, making him especially relevant to contemporary interiors where innovation and elegance are expected to coexist.
