Sam Adams is a London-based sculptor and art fabricator, creating installations, bespoke display pieces and specialist joinery for galleries, architects and private clients. The studio works between sculpture, architecture and design, producing carefully detailed work in timber and metal that’s made to sit quietly and confidently in a space.

Projects

Sams projects bring together sculpture, installation and objects that sit between art, architecture and design. On this page you can see how ideas are tested in space, from gallery works to more experimental pieces, and get a sense of the materials, forms and recurring concerns that run through the practice.

Fabrication

Fabrication is where ideas become built, usable things. Here you’ll find bespoke display pieces, furniture and structures made for artists, galleries, architects and private clients. You can see how sketches and conversations turn into carefully detailed, carefully made work that sits quietly in a space and does its job well.

About

The work sits between sculpture, architecture and design. On the About page you can read more about Sam Adams’ background, exhibitions and studio practice, and how the fabrication work grows out of the same way of thinking and careful making.

  • "Sam understands how artworks need to live in a space. The structures and display pieces he builds are quiet, exact and completely reliable – they support the work without ever shouting over it."

  • "The aim is always the same: to make something that’s doing a lot of work in the background, but feels light, calm and inevitable in the space."
