The event sees the launch of a new design for MARK by Tomoko Azumi – The Verso chair (pictured). Work by Dylan Freeth, Sam Johnson and Gala Wright also features in a range of exhibits using Kvadrat fabrics.
The exhibition offers a glimpse behind the scenes of how the designs are conceived and produced, including footage of production processes, examples of tooling and details of the collaboration that goes in to bringing a design to the market.
There is a programme of talks to accompany the exhibition with speakers including John Miller and Anna Hart, Tomoko Azumi, William Knight and LONDON DESIGN GUIDE editor Max Fraser. Max will be discussing “Design ideas that could change the world” on Tuesday 20th March at 4:30pm. Check the website for details: www.markproduct.com
