Alex Hull is the studio’s creative director. He was born in 1981 in Chester, UK. His passion for working with natural materials and building things with your own hands comes from his father, a timber specialist and a keen joiner. Interested in design from an early age, Alex initially wanted to be a car designer or an architect and even built a large Scandinavian style summer house in his parent’s back yard.  Eventually settling on furniture design, he studied Product and Furniture Design at Nottingham Trent University, before joining bespoke furniture company Silverlining. Rapidly progressing to the head of design, Alex brought to the company a new perspective focusing on contemporary design and pushing the craft to its absolute limit.

In 2012 Alex Hull, Polina Parshina and David Winter set up Hull Studio, working on design/art pieces and private commissions within high-end residential and superyacht sectors. Recent projects include custom furniture and specialist decorative finishes for M/Y Arrow, M/Y Come Together, M/Y Synthesis, M/Y Avanti, M/Y Scout, M/Y Elandess, as well as private residences in London and Abu Dhabi and the exhibition at the Design Museum in South Kensington.
