Conscious Design By Aaron Probyn

We’re proud to introduce the work of one of our partners, British designer Aaron Probyn. Working out of New York City and London, Aaron is an industrial designer who shares Unison’s passion for sustainably produced, high-quality and timelessly designed pieces.

A Product and Furniture Design graduate of London’s Kingston University, Aaron first established a presence within the design industry by creating award-winning products while working for a roster of respected brands, including Habitat, Studio Conran, Tom Dixon, Plain English and Jedco Product Design. 

Then in 2012, he founded his eponymous design studio and began consulting for a wide range of global companies. From directing the initial concept to final production sign-off, he creates ranges that are commercially successful year after year. Experienced across a variety of products and manufacturing processes, from small batch runs to high-volume automated production, Aaron brings an in-depth knowledge and instinctive approach to each and every brief.

His journey as a designer reached new heights in 2020 when he launched his line of own-brand products. By collaborating with carefully selected manufacturers and sourcing ethically produced materials, he’s committed to making good design accessible to the many, not just the few.

Unison is honored to be selected by Aaron as the exclusive U.S. retailer for his debut collection. With his cohesive range of beautifully designed products, Aaron puts simple shapes and forms front and center, inspiring a love of clean-lined, engaging design. Each product has a unique, tactile quality with clear intention: to be used and enjoyed over an entire lifetime. 

Heath Maple Wood Boards

The Heath Maple Wood Boards were made with both entertaining and food preparation in mind. The boards’ name comes from Hampstead Heath near North London, where Aaron was raised. Crafted from FSC-certified maple and treated with a food-safe mineral oil, the hardwood material was chosen for its resistance to moisture and ability to withstand knife cuts. The slim brushed brass handles add an unexpected accent and make them easy for serving or hanging up when not in use. 

Geometry Brass Trivets Set Of 3

The Geometry Brass Trivets Set Of 3 are smartly designed and striking. Use them nested as a set for one dish or individually for three dishes, keeping table surfaces safe from heat and condensation. The brushed brass finish and graphic shapes make a bright and bold centerpiece for your table. Plus, the slim profiles along with the ability to nest within each other make them easy to store.

Zofia Salad Servers

The Zofia Salad Servers are meant to be your go-to servers for both everyday and special occasion uses. Made of 18/10 stainless steel with a PVD coating, they’re as useful as they are eye-catching. The generous proportions, well-weighted feel and choice of three finishes make them a functional and beautiful addition to your table or a unique and thoughtful host gift.

Eclipse Brushed Brass Candleholders

Made of solid brass, the Eclipse Brushed Brass Candleholders are substantial and stable, while the ringed design creates an illusion of floating above the surface. The simple low shapes add a bright accent to your table or space. Each one looks great on its own, but combined all together they make an impressive statement as a minimal centerpiece.

Como Marble Candleholders

These cleverly designed Como Marble Candleholders allow for mixing-and-matching, yet still have a cohesive style. Made of solid marble, the clean shape of the candleholder presents an updated look to a traditional material. The ability to use them with either a tealight on one side or a taper candle on the other gives it versatility as a single object, while combining a few of both colors adds contrast, height and dimension.

Botany Planters

The Botany Planters’ rounded form is expertly hand slip cast of raw porcelain and has a smooth, matte exterior with a glossy glazed interior. The medium planters’ smart, two-part design features a center bottom hole and saucer, allowing for proper drainage and keeping your surfaces safe from drips, while the small vessel has a center bottom hole and rubber stopper for easy drainage and resealing.
