I Started A.S. Designs early in 2001, coming to furniture
design via the unconventional route of Sculpture. Although the two disciplines
seem a way apart the basic principles and elements are similar; form,
texture and surface are important aspects of both fields.

These elements I feel are critical in my design process
for commission and exhibition pieces. Therefore the choice of wood has
to include type, grain, colour and flowering to suite the design and brief.
These decisions enhance the surface quality and give each
piece a distinct individuality which creates a truly unique piece.

I have had a number of challenging commissions. These I
find the most personally rewarding. Some of these commissions can be seen
on this site and I am working on some interesting designs at the moment,
which I will display soon. These pieces show the versatility in design
and function and an ability to meet challenges.
I hope you enjoy your visit!
