Dan Black
Dan Black, was born in Yorkshire in 1974. His father and grandfather before him had a factory that made shoes and bags. He always had a fascination for design and grew up discussing products around the kitchen table.
He studied Industrial Design at Northumbria University, where previous graduates include Jony Ive (ex head of design at Apple). As part of his degree, he interned at the prestigious consultancies of IDEO (London) and Frog Design (California). He graduated in 1996 with a First Class Honours Degree. For the first year after graduating, he worked for Studio Brown in Bath. Then in 1998, he founded Black+Blum with his Swiss friend and fellow Northumbria University design graduate, Martin Blum. The name Blum comes from the Swiss/Deutch pronunciation (sounding like ‘bloom’) and means ‘flower’.
It is quite recently that he has picked up a paintbrush and is clearly inspired by the Scottish Landscape.
