Form&Seek London Design Fair2017
Form&Seek will be part of Dutch Pavilion at London Design Fair on 21-24 September 2017
Form&Seek exhibitions always show a consideration to new crafts, material and processes.
With this upcoming show Form&Seek explores the theme of "Openness" where we focus on what designers with a vision of across borders and cultures, make and design in order to shift attitudes and cultures for the a more inclusive future. Form&Seek explores the idea of Dutch design, not through a national lens but as an attitude and way of thinking.
For the first time ever Form&Seek launches its own collection during London Design Festival as well as a producing and selling platform, enabling consumers and retailers to purchase original and innovative crafted goods from a curated collection founded and run by designers.
The Form&Seek collection focuses on new developed processes and contemporary, globally local craft techniques. Interesting, innovative materials and processes play a key role in the pieces by Form&Seek. Each item tells a story through the way it has been made or the impact it has on our daily lives.
Our new collection expands on a wide range of crafted products from conventional products prototyped with new technologies to products that play with natural formations and uses of material. Each thought provoking, poetic design object has a strong character and personality with the personal mark of the maker.
Megan Collins
Megan Collins Jewellery is designed with the elegance of simplicity in mind. The pieces can be worn as everyday items or as special pieces for a specific occasion.
Megan Collins is a contemporary jewellery designer originally from South Africa, now based in London. She has a background in Fashion Design and a Degree in Fine Art from the Nelson Mandela Metropolitan University of Port Elizabeth and a Diploma in Jewellery Design from the Vannetta Seecharran School of Jewellery in London. She works mainly in Sterling Silver, using sheet or wire as a starting point, however sometimes uses elements of gold or brass or oxidizes components to create contrasts. Most of her inspiration is drawn from natural forms, often ones that reflect her South African heritage. The business celebrated its launch in 2015 and hopes to expand over the years to come.
Each piece in my SUCCULENT collection begins by abstracting a natural form into a geometric shape and is then translated into silver, or gold plated silver. These pieces are functional art and are made to be worn and enjoyed, bringing the beauty of the natural world into our daily lives. Their simplicity welcomes a sense of calm and understated elegance.
