Andrew Muggleton designs and creates innovative,
high-quality modern and contemporary furniture by
bending and shaping exotic woods and blending other
materials such as metal and glass to achieve the
desired result.
Simplicity in life is difficult and complicated to
achieve. It is easy to have too much going on and
spend too much time organizing it. This is the same
approach Andrew takes when designing furniture.
Keeping the design simple is one of his most difficult - and rewarding - challenges. It is this desire for simplicity which
helps Andrew avoid the common trap of filling empty space with unnecessary clutter.
Everything in nature is curved, from the smooth pebbles on a beach to an egg. Sharp jagged edges do not make you
feel at ease, but a field of straw bending in the wind, that is inviting. This is the reason why his work involves such
beautiful subtle curves.
Andrew incorporates engineering, structure and architecture into his pieces.
It is these three things, which inspire him constantly in everyday life.
Buildings and bridges, archways new and old, all provide a fundamental
foundation for his designs. |
