Designer Spotlight: Charlie Crowther-Smith

Working as a freelance designer isn’t easy, but Charlie Crowther-Smith makes it look just that. His one-man operation may appear on the small side, but his studio workshop is going non-stop. He is a Bristol-based designer, and takes commissions as well as produces more commercial items. Intent upon working with local designers, Crowther-Smith is organizing an exhibit this summer to showcase the best and brightest in Bristol interior design. His style is eclectic, using hardwood as his material of choice. He spruces this up by bringing out the natural grain or by painting the wood with whimsical, bright colors.
