Sculptor  |  Materials Specialist  |  Furniture Designer 

Gemma Barr (Scotland b.1992) is a sculptor, furniture designer, and materials specialist with over a decade of experience working across design and sculpture studios in the UK and Europe. She began her career after graduating from Glasgow in 2014 and later moved to Eindhoven to work with artist Nacho Carbonell, where her practice shifted from product design towards sculpture and experimental material processes.

Her work centres on material research and experimentation, exploring metals, glass, ceramics, plastics, wood, recycled and unconventional materials. She is particularly interested in blurring the boundaries between the organic and the man-made, using materiality as a way to explore form, texture, and narrative.

Gemma has exhibited internationally, collaborated with artists and interior designers, and completed residencies including in Mexico City, where she researched local materials and natural environments. She is currently studying Sculpture MA at the Royal College of Art, London.
