Fred Baier

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Fred Baier is regarded as one of the most avant garde British furniture designer makers since the Seventies when he graduated from the Royal College of Art.

A pioneer of the Seventies British Craft Revival, he has experimented with radical structures and forms. Some of his original work drew its influence from Industrial Revolution concepts such as heavy pistons, exploring the use of coloured solid woods. His Star Wars table in the mid Seventies shows his influence in re-defining the boundaries of furniture making. Since the Seventies he has used Convergent technologies; computers, mathematics, theories of proportion in his furniture designs.
