Meet the makers exhibiting at Evolution of Tradition: Jonathan Field

Evolution of Tradition, a new exhibition of contemporary bespoke furniture designed by some of the UK’s most distinguished craftspeople, takes place from 2 until 5 October this autumn at Design Centre, Chelsea Harbour.The exhibition represents an exciting collaboration between The Furniture Makers’ Company and Design Centre, Chelsea Harbour, the world’s premier design destination.

Fifteen makers, including Jonathan Field are exhibiting 28 pieces at the exhibition.

Jonathan Field’s inspiration comes from the patterns, shapes and textures found in nature, from the micro to full scale aerial views. He likes the simple flowing lines of a table or chair and the visual and tactile detail of the wood within a framed structure.

Using wood predominantly from the UK, and often salvaged timbers that have a history and a beauty entirely unique to each piece, the distinctive aspects of the timber are often a starting point when considering a project for a client.

The selection of the materials, the care for detail and love of the making process are all carried through within each piece for the viewer and user to link with and engage.

Jonathan’s work has graced various exhibitions and shows in the UK and abroad and at his gallery Connaught Brown of London.
