Designer and artist Michael Stolworthy puts the "industrial" in industrial design, and when it comes to being a multicreative, he's got one of the more interesting backgrounds we've seen:

[Stolworthy] has studied advanced organic modeling techniques, dynamically driven surfaces, 3-d animation, media arts, arboriculture & horticultural science. He interned with a stereolithography lab catering to the medical industry that specializes in growing 3-d models of human skeletal structures with rapid prototyping technology for pre-surgical diagnosis.

Stolworthy's also got a Bachelor of Science degree and a certificate in "Ornamental Horticulture." It is the only explanation for the beautiful steel objects he produces, ranging from flatware to speakers to bar furniture to retail systems. Hit the jump to see larger shots, or check him out here.
