Craig Barrow is an artist and designer working in the areas of object, sculpture and space. Seeing design as responses to the world’s curiosities and shared relationships, his body of work stems from material exploration and production processes, observations of human interaction with objects and scientific and natural phenomena.

Lime washed poplar and lime render bench.
Constructed using readily available materials during the renovation of a 19th Century water mill in Southern France. Made in response to the surrounding landscapes, the mill renovation process and typical local construction techniques. Installed on the grounds of the mill on the bank of La Sère river.
The poplar, which was cut down by the building’s owner over 20 years ago, grows extensively in the area, often used to build barns and other farm buildings and lime washed as a quick and cheap alternative to painting or varnish. The lime penetrates deep into the softwood, whitening as it dries and hardening over time; providing protection from the elements, UV light and infesting insects and, for the later reason, is also often painted on the bases of trees.
Lime render is commonly applied to external surfaces of stone and brick buildings. Used as an alternative to concrete due to it’s breathability, the lime render easily allows moister to evaporate, preventing damage to the internal structure during the region’s extreme fluctuations of temperature; ranging from -10c and snow to +40c and raging sun.
