Great Western Studios will celebrate the opening of their new canal-side building with an exhibition of work by some of the UK's most talented designers. The exhibition also marks the launch of their wider ongoing cultural programme.
This September, Great Western Studios will take part in the London Design Festival for the first time - presenting the work of fifteen designers and design collectives throughout its recently opened new home. The exhibition includes work by Ana Thompson & Tom Higgs, Bethan Wood, Creative [SIN]ergy, Edward Cotterill, Emilie Voirin, Gareth Neal, Jody Leach, Joe Earley, Jordy Fu, Martha Freud, Mike Moran, Naomi McIntosh, Tamasine Osher and Ulrika Jarl and will cover the various design disciplines: furniture to jewellery, ceramics to lighting, as well as looking into the wider subject of city-wide design and architecture.
Amongst the exhibits are Gareth Neal's Urban Picnic, which he will set up in the Studios' atrium alongside Tamasine Osher's explorative furniture. Creative [SIN]ergy work with the concept of the generic city by creating a photographic conversation between London and Singapore. Ana Thompson and Tom Higgs premier their new By-Products range of furniture, which, as the name suggests, are made out of the by-products of British manufacturers' production processes.
Great Western Studios are also collaborating with Tom Dixon & The Dock, to create a London Design Festival canal-side trail between the two venues. Brompton, who will be exhibiting and manufacturing customised bikes at The Dock, will offer visitors the chance to borrow the bikes for travel between the two venues throughout the festival.
The LDF exhibition not only celebrates Great Western Studios' re-launch at the beautiful new premises on The Grand Union Canal but also marks the launch of a broad, ongoing cultural programme, which encompasses art, film, theatre, music, fashion, photography, architecture and, of course, design. Since its inception in 1994 Great Western Studios has grown into one of London's most successful, thriving and varied creative working communities. Opening its doors to the public with this new diary of events it is set to become one of London's most exciting destinations for indoor and outdoor exhibitions and performances.
