Sculptural 'knotted' side and/or coffee table in fumed oak by a master maker

About the Item

The 'Tula' side table by British designer-maker, Tom Vaughan, is part of a series of work tracing three-dimensional paths of movement through a solid, functional form, in which the artist pushes both material and process to its limit. Made in fumed European oak, each one is carved from solid wood and handmade to the bespoke dimensions specified by the client, while being limited to ten within the edition. It can also be used as a coffee table. People are mesmerised by the way Vaughan manipulates timber and metals into these sculptural organic forms. Tom Vaughan, founder of Object Studio, and his team of specialist craftspeople take on ambitious commissions for galleries, public institutions and private clients, including the fabrication of complex three-dimensional structures in woods, metals and synthetics. An artist-maker who trained in Cabinet Making at London Guildhall University and in Three-dimensional Design at Brighton University, Vaughan took a Masters in Contemporary Product Design at the Royal College of Art under the tutelage of Ron Arad (he himself is now a visiting lecturer at the RCA). He founded Object Studio in London as a workshop for making, a laboratory for experimentation, and the meeting point of traditional craft with modern processes, describing his process as "making three-dimensional brush strokes." Helen Chislett Gallery represents artists, sculptors and makers across all disciplines.

  • Contemporary hand-sewn Meander quilt by British master maker
    By Emily Campbell
    Located in London, GB
    'Meander' quilt by British artist-maker, Emily Campbell. Emily’s knowledge of sewing combines with the formal and visual principles she learned as a two-dimensional designer to re-imagine the patchwork quilt. She has interpreted traditional patchwork geometry, dispensing with floral prints in favour of bold combinations of solid colour. Emily quilts all her designs for us by hand. Bespoke sizes are therefore possible. An accomplished undergraduate dress and costume maker, Emily progressed from an English degree to a diploma in Clothing Technology and became a pattern maker for the fashion designer Jean Muir. After completing her Master of Fine Arts at Yale School of Art she practised as a graphic designer at Pentagram in New York before embarking on a series of national and international programme director roles in the arts, design and education. In 2012, a quilt made from old denim and canvas work clothes featured in an exhibition about Gee’s Bend (the famed quilting community in Alabama). This prompted Emily to up-cycle the family’s old jeans into her first patchwork quilt. She studied rhythm, rule and variation in Anni Albers’ pattern drawings. She took inspiration from Gustav Klimt, Victor Pasmore and Ellsworth Kelly, and many more artists besides. Emily is the founder of Pemberton Qwilts. This takes its name from Sheila Frances Hayes, née Pemberton, who first taught Emily to sew. Three of Emily’s ‘TV Quilts’ were commissioned by Anya Hindmarch for her concept store at London Fashion Week 2023. These bear a single word of personal significance (see images). Emily was also among the textile artists selected for a group show at David Parr House, Cambridge that year. Helen Chislett...
