Libby Sellers presents Grandmateria,
an exhibition of new design
commissions from key emerging
designers based in the UK.
82 83
Works include limited-edition lighting
designs from Stuart Haygarth, concept
furniture from Julia Lohmann and
Gero Grundmann, poetic storage
solutions from Peter Marigold and a
series of interactive chairs from
Moritz Waldemeyer.
Grandmateria, a title borrowed from
the 2005 album by Swiss band Morgan
Lafay, acknowledges the album’s
thematic exploration into the
mythologies of the Philosopher’s
stone: a stone said to have alchemical
powers to transmute lead into gold.
By working with often humble
materials, or materials out of their
usual context, each of the designers
represented in Grandmateria elevates
the ordinary to spectacular effect.
