Artist
Amata Benedict
Amata Benedict is an artistic partnership who create art and interiors based on the principles of the renaissance ‘bottega’ workshop. This is a place where disparate disciplines merge to create artworks that integrate the space between the artefact, the functional object and a work of art. They make pieces from pre-existing things, often using fragments of used textiles, deconstructed and reconfigured furniture as well as fabricating metal sculptures and building with clay. They create works inspired by ancient art to everyday contemporary household objects.
Amata studied Interior Design at the Glasgow School of Art, working at World of Interiors before gaining more pragmatic skills at studios, including Lockbund Foundry, Fiorini, and Cox London. Benedict studied sculpture at Central Saint Martins, later completing an apprenticeship in fabrication at Pangolin Editions. He went on to gain a Masters in Fine Art at City and Guild’s Art School.

"A combination of craft, folk and playfulness make these pieces really beautiful and collectable. I like the idea of the partnership (kind of guild like) but one that puts their artistic vision to a wide array of objects and inspirations." - Jonathan Brook
"I’m obsessed. Their artistic approach centres on creating pieces with layered narratives by deconstructing and reassembling found objects and materials - working with textiles, wood and metals even repurposing from projects past. The original form is recognizable, but altered, sometimes humorous, surreal, but always beautiful." - Russell Loughlan
