Frederik Dunbar is a British Artist and Designer based in Newcastle, England. Who has an education in Three-Dimensional Design from Northumbria University graduating 2023. Where he developed an intimate relationship with materials like timber and an understanding of how to manipulate them. During this time he began to draw upon his interest in the living and man-made world, considering the relationships that are shared between them, both in materiality and form. Using furniture and object design as a medium he explores themes of animalism, movement and time, seeking to uncover the moment objects gain agency. X X
