The Aram Gallery is presenting the fourth in its ongoing series called Prototypes and Experiments with a new batch of exhibits sourced from the studios of emerging and established designers. The exhibition displays objects exploring ideas in metal.
PROTOTYPES AND EXPERIMENTS IV: Metal and Form
21st January – 6th March 2010
THE ARAM GALLERY
Top Floor, 110 Drury Lane, London WC2B 5SG (07827 353 026)
This exhibition series provides a rare glimpse into the development process of a new design. Most people are totally unaware of the stages through which a design will mature, from crude sketches to mini models and then full scale prototypes, which in themselves can hold a rare charm.
In most cases, a prototype is not made with the intention of being sold or shown outside the designer’s studio. This exhibition exposes the various steps of the process and celebrates the designer’s imagination – these are designs in their raw state prior to any interference from manufacturing realities or marketing forces.
The objects might be characterised by a technical or material discrepancy, compared to the final product, due to a lack of access of the designer to technology at the process stage. This exhibition reinforces The Aram Gallery’s commitment to the way designers think and work in their search for insight into the design process.
Designers include:
Nucleo
Curator: Daniel Charny
Images – from top: Ground Stationery by Michael Antrobus; Coatrack by Vandasye; Bag Stools by Gitta Gschwendtner; Softcover by Hiroko Shiratori.
