Nicholas studied Visual Communication at the Glasgow School of Art and after a career in art direction and graphic design decided to follow his creative passions for designing and making furniture. In 2023 he graduated from Chippendale International School of Furniture and set up Nicholas Davis Studio to create distinct and timeless designs with an approach that values permanence, craftsmanship and attention to detail.

With equal consideration for functional requirements and aesthetic appreciation Nicholas takes inspiration from architecture and the local environment, looking to create considered and careful responses to context and requirements. He enjoys exploring scale and colour, which naturally lends a diverse and unique quality to his work. Each project draws from a range of historical and contemporary references relevant to the function of a piece in order to create characterful and valuable furniture that enhances its environment and the lives of those who use it.
