Dai Roberts (b.1974 Andover, UK) studied at Chelsea College of Art & Design, London (2003-05) and Nottingham Trent University (1999-2002). Dai's work references the ideas of movements such as the Constructivists and the Bauhaus, which can be seen in the geometrical shapes and abstraction. His work attempts to blend different methods and mediums of production by using architecture and furniture as a reference point to reproduce the utopian desires of the early Modernists.
