William Hardie is
best known for his technical and design skills in the UK Channel 4 series George Clarke’s Amazing Spaces and Shed of the Year competition, where small
simple structures with ingenious designs solve often complex problems.
William is a champion of ground-breaking design and
technology delivered using traditional skills and materials as well as the
latest innovations available. Founder of Studio Hardie, William works with a
specialist team of expert carpenters, cabinet makers, timber framers and
shipwrights who use their craft-based skills to solve complex problems by
creating inspiring project builds for individuals, organisations and TV
audiences around the world. In a digital age their vernacular skills are in
great demand - using old knowledge and pushing it into exciting new forms.
Having used Triton products for some years, often in
challenging environments to achieve spectacular results, William and his team have
agreed to join us as brand champions. We will follow some of their fascinating
projects with an inside view here on the Triton Blog and via our Facebook and
Twitter posts. The team will also provide expert opinions and their unique take
on form and function into the design and development of future tools.
Commenting on this new collaboration, William said: “As
designers and makers of unique objects, we have a strong reliance on quality
hand and power tools. Nothing we do is everyday or standard. Redefining what’s
possible - and often up against tight deadlines - innovation, precision and
reliability are key elements in our success. Triton Precision Power Tools share
these values of traditional quality and progressive thinking, and we are proud
to endorse their products.”
In this first short film, William gives us an insight into
the background of Studio Hardie and his own personal take on the rise of the
maker generation.
