Simon Yates
imagine - design - make
From my studio just north of London, I make individual pieces of furniture that emphasize structure and balance, and the idea of movement and texture.
Experimenting with technique and process has allowed me to challenge the normal preconceptions about furniture making and has given me a depth of understanding of the material and how far the boundaries can be pushed within my work.
I design furniture to flow and to have a strong and defined aesthetic. An interest in organic and geometric forms found in the natural world and man made structures have an influence over my work.
