    ABOUT THE GALLERY

    Charles Burnand Gallery champions collectible design, Art Furniture and Illuminated Sculpture that fuse radical material integrity, emotional resonance, and intellectual rigour. Founded in 2009 by Simon Stewart, the gallery presents both emerging and established contemporary artists and designers, curating monumental, sculptural works that push the boundaries of function, perception, and craft.

     

    Working with an international network of collectors, designers, and institutions, the gallery is known for its forward-thinking programme and sculptural focus, exhibiting at leading fairs including Design Miami, PAD London, Salon Art + Design, and Collect Art Fair. In 2025, the gallery was awarded Best in Show at Design Miami, reinforcing its position at the forefront of contemporary collectible design.

     

    Charles Burnand Gallery continues to shape the future landscape of contemporary collectible design and Art Furniture.

    ABOUT THE STUDIO

    Outside of its exhibition programme, Charles Burnand Gallery operates an in-house design and production studio, realising bespoke commissions through a global network of master artisans, including its exhibiting artists.

     

    Working across materials such as bronze, cast glass, silver, and mica, the studio brings together specialist techniques to produce one-of-a-kind works for collectors, interior designers, and architects. Each project is approached as a dialogue between material, process, and form.

     

    From sculptural lighting to large-scale furniture and site-specific pieces, the studio navigates complex, multi-disciplinary production with precision—streamlining collaboration across multiple artisans to deliver highly resolved works.

     

    Committed to supporting local makers, the majority of works are produced and assembled in the United Kingdom.

  • ABOUT SIMON STEWART
    ABOUT SIMON STEWART

    Simon Stewart is the founder of Charles Burnand Gallery, established in 2009. A curator with a distinctive eye for material-led practice, he oversees the gallery’s programme across exhibitions and international fairs.

     

    Stewart works closely with artists and artisans to develop new bodies of work and bespoke commissions, often facilitating collaborations that push the boundaries of material and process. His approach is rooted in identifying and supporting emerging talent, frequently introducing artists to new audiences ahead of wider institutional recognition.

     

    Originally trained as a woodwind musician at the Royal College of Music, Stewart brings a disciplined, intuitive approach to his work, shaped by a deep understanding of form, structure, and composition.

     

    The gallery’s name pays tribute to his grandfather, Charles Burnand, whose legacy continues through the gallery’s evolving programme.
