BookMatched Scottish Burr Elm Dining Table, Live Edge Legs by Jonathan Field

'My focus is to create a balance between elegance and functionality, with a simplicity of line, form and materials, making pieces that are easy to live with and give both visual and tactile pleasure'. Jonathan’s work has been shown at various exhibitions and shows in the UK and Abroad and by his gallery Connaught Brown of London. Jonathan is a member of the London Worshipful Company of Furniture Makers. He was delighted to be awarded a bespoke guild mark award for an edition of ten chairs in rippled ash completed in 2017. Ethos In my practice, I question the confines of the domestic and practical demands of furniture and interpret the human longing for a deeper connection to traditional crafts, contemporary aesthetics and an engagement with natural materials, allied to a story made visceral through the maker’s time and hand. While primarily focusing on the design’s functionality, I incorporate through my choice of natural materials a timeless feel that will, through use, be complemented with a patina of age.
