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.
Simon Anton
Simon Anton has developed his practice using experimental making techniques and a focus on transforming unexpected materials. With a playful and inquisitive attitude, his interest lies in how material narratives are reframed in the act of making. Visceral, textural “dirty craft” joins forces with thoughtful design decisions in the creation of objects that push the border between art and design. Founder of the experimental design collective Thing Thing, he has been creating experimental objects out of recycled plastic for the last 8 years. Anton graduated in 2020 from the Cranbrook Academy of Art. He is a local Detroit and runs his studio with an emphasis on community and education.
