About

Based upon is a team of artists and designers creating highly acclaimed, large scale artworks and sculptural furniture.

The work is inspired by natural and urban landscapes, explorations of archetypal forms and patterns and by the narrative histories woven within a place or group of people. Having developed a unique palette of mark making techniques in liquid metals and resins it also offers an exclusive collection of award winning hand made surfaces which are used primarily within superyachts and the worlds finest interiors projects.

Based Upon was established in 2004 by twin brothers Ian and Richard Abell and is currently a team of 30 based in London but working extensively across the world.
