Early Furniture
1982
In 1982, Brian Clarke explored furniture design. The series comprises wooden pieces created in collaboration with furniture maker Malcolm Nix, who had also previously fabricated Clarke’s wooden 'Constructions'.
The earliest piece is Coffee Table, originally designed for Clarke’s Studio. A larger and more complex Conference Table was later created as a gift to photographer David Bailey. The table designs adapt the geometric and computergram-inspired motifs from the Constructions for functional objects.
