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.
Liquid Plastic
London-based furniture designer Richard Lowry’s polyurethane foam pieces for the 'Age of Man' exhibit are the result of an observation of our relationship with plastics.
Generally, plastic products are considered disposable, consumable, and mass produced. These pieces, titled Liquid Plastic are designed to challenge that narrative. Using a self-created composite of liquid plastic, marble dust, and pigment, Richard begins to look at plastic as something that can be utilized in a sculptural manner. Characteristic of Richard’s work, these pieces explore the boundaries between art and design and become a means of introducing sculpture into space, by exploring both materials and forms.
