Matthew Burt
Matthew Burt (born 1951) is a furniture designer-maker in England 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 to members of parliament. His solo museum exhibition ''Idea to Object'' was held at the Crafts Study Centre, Farnham in 2008.Matthew 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 fundamental building blocks for his furniture.〔Olding, Simon. ''Matthew Burt: idea to object'', Crafts Study Centre, 2008, p7〕
He was awarded the Master’s Gold Award by the Worshipful Company of Furniture Makers in 2001. Peter Keen, Master of the Worshipful Company of Furniture Makers said: "I was delighted to see Matthew Burt receive his well-deserved award from the Lord Mayor. The table is a first class example of the very best in modern furniture design."〔Keen, Peter. ''Makers News'', The Worshipful Company of Furniture, July 2001, p5〕
== Biography ==
Born in 1951 in Wiltshire, Burt read Zoology at Reading University before studying furniture at Rycotewood College, Oxfordshire and then working as an apprentice to Richard Fyson in Gloucestershire. He established his own workshop in Wiltshire in 1978.
His degree in Zoology fed Burt’s inquisitive interest in the substructure of the natural world and he applied this interest in an innovative way to his earliest designs for furniture, sensing that the practical framework of his pieces could add both purpose and meaning to his designs. Crafts magazine has said: "Furniture maker Matthew Burt has a refreshingly no-nonsense approach to his work. He is a real maker’s maker with no time for conceptual craft and his love of what he calls the ‘magic that is making’ can be clearly seen in his current exhibition at Farnham’s Crafts Study Centre." 〔‘Up Front’, ''Crafts'', Crafts Council, December 2008, p8〕
