Future Stars?

The Aram Gallery shows the work by seven young experimental designers as part of its continuing investigation into designers’ process.

Aram Gallery selected seven designers who show a particularly fresh approach: Maria Jeglinska, Lola Lely, Cat Potter, James Shaw, Sophie Thomas, Thor ter Kulve and Kim Thom.

Together they suggest a current moment in contemporary design in which designers strive to establish their studios by carving a unique path.

This exhibition pinpoints the innovative ways designers are now thinking about making. Working independently and collaboratively, these selected few have experimented, explored, tried and tested different methods of production, showing a refreshing approach to contemporary design, now.

New work by these 7 is displayed, each piece an example of developed original thinking and breadth of practice. Experiments in footwear, furniture and jewellery exemplify these individuals’ talents for research and self-production.
