Furniture in the style of Scottish designer, Robert Adam (1728-92)

Robert Adam was a Scottish neoclassical architect, interior designer, and furniture designer who was active in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. He is considered one of the most important figures in the history of architecture, and his work had a significant influence on the development of neoclassical architecture and design.

Adam was born in Kirkcaldy, Scotland in 1728 and trained as a carpenter and joiner before studying architecture. He traveled widely in Europe, studying the works of classical architects such as Vitruvius and Palladio, and he was particularly influenced by the architecture of ancient Rome. Robert Adam spent time in Italy studying and his designs are influenced by the finds made during the excavation of Pompei.

When he returned to England he became the Court Architect to George III (1738-1820). Adam is best known for his work on country houses and public buildings in England, including the more... Adelphi Buildings in London and the Bank of Scotland building in Edinburgh. He is also known for his contributions to interior design, including his development of the Adam style, which featured delicate plasterwork, classical motifs, and harmonious colour schemes. less...
