AA alumnus Adam Nathaniel Furman featured in Dezeen coverage on ‘New London Fabulous’

AA alumnus Adam Nathaniel Furman has been featured in Dezeen in a piece on a new design movement titled the ‘New London Fabulous.’ The movement of London based designers have been highlighted for their maximalist use of colour and eclectic range from references. Furman was listed alongside other designers breaking away from minimalist design orthodoxies including Yinka Ilori, Camille Walala and Morag Mysercough.

Furman commented that, “throughout history, there's plenty of mostly women and queer designers who've always used a lot of colour," Furman explained, adding that "a lot of the most popular interior designers have absolutely nothing to do with all of the minimalist architects. But they're just not canonised. It's considered not serious. There's an inculcation into a sort of club of looks."

Furman, who wrote a book reappraising postmodern architecture, wanted to provide some distance between the movement and postmodernism. "I think people have sort of dismissed us as being like a postmodern revival, but actually we're really passionate about a lot of things that were just ignored for a while.”
