About Adam Nathaniel
Trained in architecture, Furman is an artist and designer based in London whose work creatively fuses traditions, contemporary themes, and beautiful materials to form high quality, crafted and tactile experiences rooted in shared experiences of delight.
Through Furman’s mastery of colour, shape and quality craftsmanship, people are invited into gentle, non-conformist worlds that spark the imagination through a sensual celebration of the human spirit.
Furman works across diverse scales and disciplines, from painting, videos and prints, to large public and architectural artworks, furniture, interiors, and beyond. His vibrant aesthetic combines diverse influences into a distinctive visual language that is singular, but highly adaptive, and very much his own.
Exhibited and collected internationally, Furman's work delights in the transformational power of spaces and objects that provide joy and inspiration.
Adam Nathaniel's work has been exhibited all over the world, and is held in the collections of the Design Museum (London), the Sir John Soane’s Museum, the Carnegie Museum of Art, the National Gallery of Victoria, the National Museum (of Norway), the Abet Museum, and the Architectural Association.
