Telling Tales

Whilst in London for the Walking in My Mind exhibition I made a quick dash to the Victoria and Albert Museum to take in the Telling Tales exhibition.

“This exhibition explores the recent trend among European designers for unique or limited edition pieces that push the boundaries between art and design. It showcases furniture, lighting and ceramics, designed by a new generation of international designers, including Tord Boontje, Maarten Baas, Jurgen Bey and Studio Job, who are all inspired by the spirit of story-telling. Each tells a tale through their use of decorative devices, historical allusions or choice of materials, sharing common themes such as fantasy, parody and a concern with mortality.”

There is a particularly nice Flash site of the exhibits HERE
