For artists and designers alike, the dividing line between form and function has proven to be a tricky distinction to pinpoint, and lead many to try their hand at interiors. From the famous Bloomsbury Group, that included Vanessa Bell, Duncan Grant and Virginia Woolf, and their intricately hand-decorated home near Lewes in East Sussex, to the über-sexy, Pop art furniture of Allen Jones or the Minimalist, refined shapes of Donald Judd's chairs, tables and daybeds, many artists have forayed into the field of interiors with consummate ingenuity.

Taking formal cues from their own paintings and sculptures, many artists adapt their anti-utilitarian objects to fit the bill of a functional object. With the Bloomsbury Group, Judd and even Le Corbusier, the idea of a total work of art went so far as to include patterns over each and every surface, the furniture in the room and the shape of the building it was hung in. Doubtless, what all these artists have in common is a unique creative sense and unrelenting commitment to their own aesthetic that began, first and foremost, with their artistic style - proving that, when it comes to piecing together the complete environment, you should let your nose be led by your art, before your furniture.
