'Not in Service'

'Not in Service'

In October of 2024 Six Dots Design Launched a new 15 piece collection called 'Not in Service'

In my head, Not in service isn’t really a collection of furniture and homeware (although in reality it is). It’s a way of thinking about objects and our lives that I would like people to consider. The world is undeniably absurd, it's full of contradictions, caveats and inequalities. To try to order it or make sense of it to me is futile. I believe inherently that to try and find the meaning of life is a quest to despair. Life is really in the moments between the chaos where we can love, create and express our innermost ambitions and desires. 

This collection is titled and presented as a closed book of objects but really it’s really an evolution of the work that me and the team have been working on for the past four years. Its testing, pushing and poking at the limits of what people are wanting in their homes. 

I am hoping that by opening Six Dots up with new product categories and ranges, more people are able or feel able to have a piece of ours that speaks to them in some way, whether its a table that tells them that their living room is theirs and no one else’s or an illegally affixed toilet roll holder that tells their landlord that they may own this flat but they do not own your spirit. 

Not in service at its core is a collection of functional objects that are designed to serve not their explicit purpose but hopefully something more personal.
