Burt has said that he regards the 'intermingling of science, engineering, mathematics, aesthetics and metaphorics' as the fundamental building blocks for his furniture. He was awarded the Master's Gold Award by the Worshipful Company of Furniture Makers in 2001. Peter Keen, Master of the Worshipful Company of Furniture Makers said: "I was delighted to see Matthew Burt receive his well-deserved award from the Lord Mayor. The table is a first class example of the very best in modern furniture design." (en)
