Adam is an integral part of our community here, not only did he help facilitate in the actual development of the new Workshop Spaces by connecting the power, but he’s an irreplaceable part of what makes this environment what it is. Sharing in healthy conversations around design, build, art and functionality; he absolutely brings a presence and support to the shared working environment that we have here.

In a nutshell Adam builds bespoke fitted furniture working on a mixture of solid wood and wood panels. Adam builds furniture that will last forever, that is not only made to bespoke specifications but can also travel with the client to their new home if needs be.

Inspired by Vintage and Modern influences, Adam likes to connect work from 50’s, retro and contemporary styles to make work that lasts a lifetime.

He talks about how this shift in “retro” styling has brought around a change in the appreciation of materials used, especially as his clients are, now, more willing to pay for higher quality design, materials and finishing; to get something that will last a lifetime.

HONE brings a sense of community for Adam, close friendships with people cut from the same cloth; interested in design, art, quality and community. He enjoys the company of the residents here and especially that they’re all longstanding members of the HONE community.

The post Adam from AR Woodwork appeared first on Hone.

With inspirations ranging from Hans Wegner to Kaare Klint, they themselves aim to inspire with their own design collection, whilst pioneering their own practices and design ethos: “To recognise the value in the process of how a piece of furniture is made, as well as the finished product…each piece telling a unique story of how it was made.”

In their own words they say “We make contemporary wooden furniture using traditional methods with a particular interest in vernacular forms. Our aim is to connect the tree and hand with the finished piece of furniture. Often the furniture celebrates the textures left by our hand tools and methods; we want our furniture to tell the story about how it came to be.”

Aiming to hold open workshops and exhibitions in their new workshop, their aim is to develop their workshop to be a beautiful and inviting space reflective of the high end work they themselves produce.

It goes without saying that their work is of the highest tier and not one, but two, pieces of furniture have been shortlisted for an award at this years Wood Awards. The work will be exhibited at 100% Design in confluence with London Design Festival this September.

There will also be a people’s choice award so show your support and head over to @100percentdesign x @l_d_f_official x @woodawards for more info or click the link in our bio and scroll down to ‘Kent Stick Chair’ and ‘Iso Cabinet’

For them the strength in being at HONE is the community, so get in touch if you’d like to be involved too.
