Hugo Passos

Hugo Passos

Hugo Passos is Portuguese-born, London-based designer who designs everyday objects and furniture that are familiar and enjoyable, both in form and use. Passos’ work is inspired by the designer’s ongoing interest in the human scale of everyday objects.

Without disregarding the artistic potential of design, Passos stays true to his view that designs must first and foremost serve their purpose and “do what they’re supposed to”. While paying great attention to the materials, structure and ergonomics that influence the use and final synthesis of the design, his approach resonates deeply with Fredericia’s core design values.

"My work is about daily life - what is the point in having things if they don't give you pleasure" - Hugo Passos.

After working as a design assistant at Fredrikson Stallard, Hugo Passos opened his own design studio in 2012. His products for Monocle magazine as well as other works have been featured at Salone Satellite in Milan and the London Design Festival.
