Donna Wilson has honed a successful career with her imaginative textiles that are well-known for their whimsical patterns and colors. After seeking a much-needed break last year, she’s back with a new direction that gives nod to her creative roots. While bold patterns and colors remain, Abstract Assembly delves into experimentation of both materials and processes resulting in a playful collection of furnishings that debuted during this year’s London Design Festival.
Abstract Assembly, which includes a bench, three chairs, and four mirrors, features abstract, organic shapes that are reinterpreted into three-dimensional forms from Donna’s watercolor paintings. Those shapes are made from oak, beech, and Douglas fir offcuts that are joined together using traditional joinery. The collection was manufactured in collaboration with Jon Almond of Produce the Goods, and each piece is available in a limited edition of just 10 pieces with each edition hand painted in different colors by Donna herself.
Abstract Assembly was shown as part of SCP’s The Landscape of Symbols exhibition during this year’s London Design Festival.
