About Adam Nathaniel Furman
photo by Gareth Gardner
Trained in architecture, Furman is an artist and designer based in London whose work creatively fuses traditions, contemporary themes, and beautiful materials to form high quality, crafted and tactile experiences rooted in shared experiences of delight.
Through his mastery of colour, shape and quality craftsmanship, people are invited into gently non-conformist worlds that spark the imagination through a sensual celebration of the human spirit.
Furman works across scales and disciplines, from painting, videos and prints, to large public and architectural artworks, furniture, interiors, and beyond. His vibrant aesthetic combines a plurality of influences into a distinctive visual language that is singular, but highly adaptive, and very much his own.
His work delights in the transformational power of spaces and objects that provide joy and inspiration.
Exhibited and collected internationally, Adam Nathaniel's work is held in the permanent collections of the Design Museum (London), the Sir John Soane’s Museum, the Carnegie Museum of Art, the National Gallery of Victoria, the National Museum (of Norway), the Abet Museum, and the Architectural Association.
