About the Studio
Clark Bardsley runs an award-winning design studio in Auckland that is truly multidisciplinary. Our projects range in scale from the tiny to the architectural, and everything in between. Every project is treated as an opportunity to work with new materials and processes, and to provide some joy in the everyday.
Clark has 17 years of experience in industrial and interior design for brands, manufacturers and service providers across the world and can deliver a design service from concept to production.
About Clark
Clark was educated at Victoria University in Wellington, receiving a Bachelor of Design with honours in Industrial Design. His first job was at brass-ware brand Methven where he learned the opportunities and constraints of mass-market and mass-production. This experience put him in good stead for a 4-year stint in London as senior designer for British studio PearsonLloyd. Returning to New Zealand in 2013, Clark became the director of his eponymous studio, and an external Head of Design for Australian brand Florence Guild.
Clark is a Professional Member of the Designers Institute of New Zealand.
