Specialist note

Gareth Devonald Smith trained in textile design before working for interior designer Mary Fox Linton and subsequently setting up his own design practice. As Devonald Smith’s career has progressed he has been increasingly drawn to the medium of metal, designing distinctive sculptural lighting and furniture, either as one off commissions for private clients or to be produced in small limited editions. The three works included in this sale typify his oeuvre, which is defned by a refned semi-industrial quality in combination with daring abstract design and juxtaposed contrasting materials.
