Recently, designer Donna Wilson unveiled a new furniture series titled Abstract Assembly

The furniture has been crafted from oak and beech offcuts, as well as Douglas fir, Donna’s favorite timber.

The designs of the furniture are three-dimensional interpretations of Donna’s abstract watercolor paintings.

The furniture was manufactured with the help of Jon Almond of Produce the Goods and SCP.

“A year ago I embarked on a new direction with the main purpose to satisfy my creativity,” the artist told Design Milk. “I finally managed to stand back from what I was doing with my company and see what I needed to do.”

“With no idea where it would take me, I started drawing and painting in the evenings,” said the designer. “The next step was for me to bring these abstract doodle to life and start working in wood, I wanted to make hand-assembled pieces using traditional carpentry techniques and luckily my partner Jon was able to help me develop these pieces into a collection of chairs and mirrors.”

Donna’s designs were even featured in the ELLE Decoration UK magazine

“In between walks on the beach, I began to experiment – drawing and painting, and enjoying the freedom of watercolour and the fluidity of ink,” the artist revealed her creative process in an interview with ELLE Decoration.

One day, this guy just kind of figured - "I spend most of my time on the internet anyway, why not turn it into a profession?" - and he did! Now he not only gets to browse the latest cat videos and fresh memes every day but also shares them with people all over the world, making sure they stay up to date with everything that's trending on the web. Some things that always pique his interest are old technologies, literature and all sorts of odd vintage goodness. So if you find something that's too bizarre not to share, make sure to hit him up!

Got wisdom to pour?
