Michael Young is considered one of the most successful and influential designers of his generation. After graduating in 1992 from the industrial design course at Kingston University, Young worked on several production pieces and infiltrated the international design scene with one-man shows in Paris and Tokyo. After opening the MY-022 Ltd design offices in London in 1995, Young set up a shop in Iceland and then moved to Belgium where a further design outfit was inaugurated. Young’s wanderlust has most recently taken him to Hong Kong where he has become a creative consultant for Radio Shack. Previous clients have included Kreo, Swedese, Rosenthal, Cappellini and Schweppes. More recently Young completed a series of new designs for French fashion brand Lacoste and, to accompany his first MY branded products, the Iconic PXR-5 and USB bracelet, a new range of barware will go on international release distributed by Innermost.
