Matthew Burt

}}

Matthew Burt (born 1951) is a British furniture designer-maker who runs a contemporary practice from a studio and workshop (established 1978) based in the South Wiltshire village of Sherrington, west of Salisbury. His work has been displayed in significant public exhibitions, most notably in the ''OneTree'' touring show and at the House of Commons in 2008 in a selection of work intended to raise the profile of UK furniture making. Burt's workshop steadily built on a reputation for furniture design that allies structurally robust work that fulfils its function with a lean, elegant line and the occasional bravura surface. Burt has said that he regards the 'intermingling of science, engineering, mathematics, aesthetics and metaphorics' as the building blocks for his furniture. Provided by Wikipedia
