About
Dark Peak Design was founded by Lauren Shearer and is known for its bold and innovative approach to functional sculpture. Specialising in homeware that combines utility with artistic expression, Dark Peak Design uses Jesmonite and copper to create vivid one-of-a-kind pieces. Every work is designed with a meticulous attention to detail, from the vibrancy of the colours to the structural integrity of the materials. Jesmonite, a versatile and durable material, allows Lauren to experiment, while copper adds an industrial sculptural element to certain pieces. Every piece is handmade and individual. Made with either a splatter, swirling marble or terrazzo effect, no two are exactly the same.
Dark Peak Design began when Lauren sought out unique, handmade homeware but couldn't find pieces that reflected her personal style – bright, bold and unconventional. Determined to fill this gap, Lauren started creating her own home decor. What started out as a personal endeavour quickly grew into becoming Dark Peak Design.
At the heart of the Dark Peak Design aesthetic is a passion for maximalism. In contrast to the subdued palates of minimalism, maximalism embraces excess, colour and eclecticism. Lauren draws from this philosophy to create pieces that celebrate individuality and make a statement in any space. Through Dark Peak Design, Lauren aims to inspire people to reimagine their living spaces, and turn everyday homeware into artistic focal points. She blends art with practicality and offers a fresh alternative to mass-produced, conventional items.
