Bed Springs To Egg Cups

Nick Munro studied engineering and design at Nottingham University, Imperial College of Science and Technology and The Royal College of Art, London, and launched his career in design by turning bedsprings into egg-cups - an instant hit which won him the prize of UK Young Entrepreneur of the Year.

Since then, the Nick Munro brand has become synonymous with original, modern British design and his signature collection has grown to include pewter, ceramics, glass, furniture and lighting, all featuring his distinctive combination of craftsmanship, integrity and wit.

Over recent years, a number of prestigious international companies have commissioned Nick to contribute to their design programs, and joint ventures have come to fruition with The Victorian & Albert Museum, Spode, La Cafetiere, Tyrone Irish Crystal, Bugatti in Italy, CHF Industries in the USA, and Royal Selangor in Malaysia.

In the press and with design critics at home and abroad, Nick's reputation has blossomed and his collections are now to be found in some of the best stores in the world.
