After designing a range of tin-ware called 'Salome' which became an enormous success he went on to design and produce hundreds of decorative tin items, and became known as the 'tin-man' of design.

Ian is one of the most respected and experienced members of the design community, having run The Ian Logan Design Co. for many years, with many high-profile clients including Harrods, Fortnum & Mason, Whittard of Chelsea, Chatsworth, Boots,Waitrose, Perrier and Buxton Waters, and Eroski Supermarkets in Spain.

Four years ago Ian sold The Ian Logan Design Co. to The Nest, a highly successful design group who  in turn eventually sold out to an advertising agency. At this point Ian left to form another design company - Logan Roberts Windett - with partners Peter Windett and Julian Roberts. Take a look at their website to see more: www.lrwdesign.com
 
Ian is an avid collector of English 20th century posters, this influence can be seen in his approach to work through the use of detailed illustration and type. A regular lecturer at consumer fairs and events he maintains strong ties with Design degree courses at various universities as an external examiner.

And uniquely, for over ten years Ian was also proprietor of the Ian Logan Design Shop in Smithfield, London, famous for selling an eclectic range of toys, gadgets and "objets trouves" which in a small measure satisfied his consuming need to collect. Ian liked to treat the shop and what he stocked with the same amount of excitement and enthusiasm as anything he has designed, buying what he liked that is functional, well designed, well packaged, and fun.

Sadly, the shop closed in January 2008, but the main products that Ian was selling there are now available HERE - through his website !
