About

Red47 is the studio of David Wakefield.

Built on the belief that people produce better work when they build alongside others, the studio exists to create physical outcomes through action, collaboration, and real-world making.

Red47 operates across design, fabrication, creative development, and spatial projects, with a focus on work that holds attention, creates presence, and leaves a lasting impression. The approach is hands-on and grounded in execution. Ideas matter, but only when they are carried through into reality.

At its core, Red47 is about creating the conditions for ambitious work. The long-term vision is to develop spaces where people can build together, sharpen skills, push standards higher, and contribute to projects larger than themselves. Iron sharpens iron.

The studio is built with a practical mindset. Strong businesses create independence. Independence creates the freedom to build bigger things.

The work has already begun.
