The Living Room is a showcase of established and emerging British design. Opening at the start of the London Design Festival, founder of brand DesignedMade, Jonathan Krawczuk and design journalist, Alyn Griffiths have curated a show that brings together the best of British design, transforming the Luna & Curious boutique in celebration of British talent.
Comparatively small aside other events at the festival, the exhibition combines beautiful designs from Another Country, Benchmark, Dare Studio, De La Espada, DesignedMade, Polly George, SCP, Viaduct, welovekaoru and CUSTHOM, using chairs, lamps and bookshelves to recreate a traditional British living room.
Finding a careful balance between established designers such as Established & Sons and relative newcomers, Fun Makes Good, the show promises to present a snapshot of British creativity in contrast to the increasingly international prominence of design firms at the London Design Festival.
With the success of last years Shoreditch Design Triangle event, award-winning designer Lee Broom once again displays work from his individual collection together with designers Max Lamb, Viable London and David Irwin in his collective venture, DeadGood. With their wire lighting collection, inspired by the classic urn lamp, and innovative U-Bend bookshelf, DeadGood hope to stand out from the crowd with an eclectic mix of unique furniture.
Contemporary timber furniture designers Young and Norgate creating a new version of their Zimmer sideboard specifically for the show, handcrafting a beautiful example of design and quality. ‘This exhibition will not only highlight the calibre of British design but the quality of British manufacturing, production and craftsmanship.’ says Krawczuk. With this innovative display, The Living Room aims to be a distinctive platform for British design culture.
The Living Room exhibition will run from 17 September until 2 October
