BOYS! BOYS! BOYS! MEETS ... ADAM NATHANIEL FURMAN, Writer & Designer

Adam Nathaniel Furman is a British artist, designer, writer, and academic. Furman specialises in work characterised by bright colours, bold patterns and ornaments coining the term 'New London Fabulous’.

Trained in architecture, Furman's work creatively fuses traditions, contemporary themes, and beautiful materials to form high quality, crafted and tactile experiences rooted in shared experiences of delight.

Through his mastery of colour, shape and quality craftsmanship, people are invited into gently non-conformist worlds that spark the imagination through a sensual celebration of the human spirit.

Furman works across scales and disciplines, from painting, videos and prints, to large public and architectural artworks, furniture, interiors, and beyond. His vibrant aesthetic combines a plurality of influences into a distinctive visual language that is singular, but highly adaptive, and very much his own.

His work delights in the transformational power of spaces and objects that provide joy and inspiration.

Exhibited and collected internationally, Adam Nathaniel's work is held in the permanent 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.

He co-edited the landmark book 'Queer Spaces'. It tells the stories of queer spaces around the world, and over the past two hundred years in an accessible and image-rich manner, with contributions by dozens of incredible queer figures writing about spaces that have great meaning to them, and a foreword by Olivia Laing. It won Architectural Book of the Year Award.
