Designer and maker Douglas Fielding-Smith has added seven new pieces to his collection of modern furniture he creates under the name Fielding-Smith Furniture.
The London-based designer prides himself on his hand-made pieces infused with contemporary twists. The imaginative designs are made primarily from light wood but incorporate modern aesthetics like glass surfaces, electric accent walls and curvy, unpredictable forms. The diverse collection consists of a "stool, bedside table, storage unit, coffee table, dining table, shoe rack, and a media console." The collection balances between form and function, offering the users an experience-oriented furniture collection, that provides each unique consumer with something special.
