THE GRADUATE(S) CARPENTERS WORKSHOP GALLERY
EUROPEAN DESIGN TALENT
SELECTED BY LIDEWIJ EDELKOORT & PHILIP FIMMANO
2013
4th Sep 2017 – 23rd Sep 2017
Aurelie Hoegy’s Dancers collection was selected for this exhibition.
Leading trend forecaster and frequent talent maker, Lidewij Edelkoort returns to London Design Festival this month with a special showcase of 15 avant-garde projects by emerging designers, just out of school. Mounted at Carpenters Workshop Gallery in London from 4-23 September, the Graduate(s) exhibit takes the pulse of the European design zeitgeist.
As a renowned trend forecaster, Edelkoort has a proven record with finding creative talent that reflects the zeitgeist. She has surveyed the work of recent graduates from more than 50 academies to formulate a final selection that defines a new organic design language which observes how- “A fresh generation of designers are investigating their identity and their roots – sometimes literally going back in history to uncover authenticity and primal instincts. They create hybrids between technology and touch, innovating materials, forging form and conceptualizing rituals for a humbler lifestyle fit for our ever-evolving times.”
Design Boom interview/ Nina Azzarello: ‘LE (continued): For Carpenters Workshop Gallery, we looked for courageous graduates who took risks by investigating an innovative design language, one that was process focused so it could fit into the gallery’s material-based mindset and tradition. The furniture and objects had to be autonomous since we were searching for unique pieces that verged on the frontiers of art. in essence, philip fimmano and myself were looking for potential designers who could possibly develop new work with carpenters in the future.’
