heirlooms of the future a new show in london celebrates the designer makers keeping the arts and crafts spirit alive

The De Beauvoir-based institution Millinery Works has established itself as the destination for the British 20th century movement and celebrates that with its latest exhibition, '21st Century Furniture V: The Arts & Crafts Legacy'
为了证明家具制造在英国和爱尔兰都很活跃,在伊斯灵顿的伦敦细木工工场举办了一场新的展览,以庆祝40多家设计师在不列颠群岛生产手工家具的工作。
从1996年布赖恩·汤普森和德里克·罗瑟拉将其作为他们的艺术画廊空间以来,以索斯盖特路为基础的一家旧帽子工厂的细木工作品一直被用作家具展厅和展览空间。
他们最新的展览,与上周伦敦设计节日相吻合,是由尊敬的英国家具制造商马丁·格里尔森(MartinGrierson)举办的一系列半年一度的展览中的第五场展览,庆祝现代设计师,他们保持了艺术和手工艺运动的活力。
“21世纪家具”展览于2009年成立,不仅展示了新设计,而且还为游客提供了购买这些作品的机会。
我第一次发现细木器作品是在七八年前,当时他们举办了一次艺术展。
现在六年过去了,展览已经发展到了既有的作品,如格里森本人(他被家具制造商公司颁发终身成就奖今年早些时候)和年轻的人才,如设计协会马克得奖青年
“人们对英国设计的兴趣越来越大,大学里的设计教育也遭受了灾难性的损失,”格里森在反思行业现状时说,“我相信,在设计师制造商兄弟会中,人们非常重视手工艺,这导致了能够表达这一点的设计。”这些作品是为了保存下来,成为我们的遗产。“
