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.
Hidden dimensions
Seeking for the lost forms of expression
Manifestation of function, honesty of material, sense of interaction, projection of value. These are the qualities that define the identity of an object for us, these are what we call forms of expression.
In our work we wanted to look beyond expectations and find lost forms of expression in the objects around us.
A gas tank can be a stool, if the revealed nature of the steel inverts its affordances, distorts its original value and changes its context of existence.
The interaction with a lamp can be reimagined if the the act of switching on is made possible through the motion of uncovered electrical connections.
The aesthetic qualities of a motor can be revealed if expressed through the creation of a dynamic sculpture.
These pieces are not only about what they represent, but also what they suggest. We see them as a medium to explore the world of things in front of us and discover hidden dimensions in what already exists.
