Julian Mayor is a British artist and designer known for his sculptural works in welded sheet metal. Using high-tech design processes, he creates each piece digitally on a computer before constructing it by hand in his workshop.
Born in 1976, Mayor graduated with a BA in Industrial Design from the University of Northumbria in 1998, followed by an MA in Design Products from the Royal College of Art under Ron Arad. After graduating in 2000, he moved to Northern California, where he worked for a design consultancy as a product and interior designer. In 2004, Mayor returned to London to work for UK-based agencies, including Pentagram, and collaborated with British designer Tom Dixon.
His work has been exhibited at the Victoria & Albert Museum in London, the Museum of Arts and Design in New York, Design Museum Holon, and Sculpture at Goodwood in East Sussex. He has also installed a permanent series of sculptural benches in a park behind Tate Britain in Pimlico, London. Mayor lives and works in West London and Doncaster, UK.
