Richard Crossley of Fielden Atelier skilfully produces heirloom quality freestanding furniture from sustainably sourced solid wood. Focusing on proportion and the characteristics of the material itself, rather than expensive distractions and unconscious flourishes, his furniture pieces are born from a lifelong relationship with exploring how the refining of practical techniques facilitate the creation of the unique.
Richard worked successfully as a qualified carpenter for over a decade before micro-focusing his skills and interests within fine furniture making. He is particularly interested in classical proportions and the way light interacts with an object, seen especially in his award-winning ‘Isaac’ cabinet. The Fielden Atelier beand combines traditional techniques with contemporary design to broaden the spectrum of modern furniture production.
