Born and raised in the “city of a thousand trades”, Douglas Fielding-Smith is inspired by both the hand made craft and industrial processes of his native Birmingham. The furniture brings together his love of avant-garde European design and the endless utility of modern materials. Trained in Furniture and Product Design at Nottingham Trent and a long time teacher of Resistant Materials, his influences range from the Bauhaus to Black Sabbath. Fielding Smith Furniture is made by Douglas in England.
