A sculptor, designer and art collector, Adam Williams founded the studio in 2004 with the aim of creating bold and complex metal furniture.
His early career saw him restoring the West Front to Wells Cathedral and from these humble beginnings he discovered a love of working with stone, and later metal. His creativity led him to sculpture, and casting tables out of stone. This led him to teach himself the craft of blacksmithing and metalwork which he then applied to creating tables.
Today he works with a range of metals, marble and glass, producing work with rich, lustrous tones and engaging textures. He draws inspiration from his love of abstract art of the 1960s and 1970s. Artists such as Henry Moore, Lyn Chadwick and Bridget Riley. Their fluid and organic forms play a deep influence in the abstract designs of Adam Williams’ console tables today.
The Art of Creation
Adam’s process of creating his table designs and sculptures are meticulous and carefully planned, despite the playful appearance of many of his designs. The complex metalwork used for the table structures and frames require great craftsmanship and blacksmith skills. Each table is sprayed with hot metal, rather than paint, giving a very hard-wearing and bright finish. Table tops are commonly limestone and marble, and clients can come to our workshop and choose their perfect section of stone for their table top.
