Fairlight riders

Bicycles have always featured heavily in our work, networking, culture, and values, and it was a pleasure to discuss our love for all things two wheels, as well as our broader approach and values, in a short film for Fairlight Cycles recently. This film is part of the Fairlight Riders film series and features a diverse range of people and professions, all linked through their love for cycling and the Fairlight brand in particular.

Andy Matthews is an architect working within his own practice Andy Matthews Studio. Andy owns a Strael and a Secan and from time to time we’ll cross paths at events or openings and we’ll make time for a chat. He is always present, engaged and genuinely interested in what we are up to and how things are going.

In this short film, Andy reflects on his career to date, why he decided to set up his own practice and shares his thoughts on making spaces more useful, playful and pleasant to exist in.

Design is a care game; care for the user and deep care for what you create and put into the world.

Thanks for choosing a Fairlight(s!) Andy.

Filming and editing by the talented Lloyd Wright.
