Jonathan Field


artist, furniture designer and maker

London, England

  • Furniture making

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. My work has been shown at various exhibitions and shows in the UK and abroad and by my gallery, Connaught Brown of London. I am a member of the Worshipful Company of Furniture Makers, I was delighted to be awarded a Bespoke Guild Mark Award for an edition of ten chairs in rippled ash, completed in 2017.

Jonathan Field is a designer-maker creating unique and limited edition pieces in his studio in East London.

Scorched & Ebonised Leap Table

03 March 2020

The Leap table was completed in 2019 and is the first in a series exploring the visual beauty of animal movement and strength. The narrow openings connect the curved legs to the table top suggesting the fluid figure of an animal in motion, which can viewed by the sitter.
