La Manufacture – A Labour Of Love

Curator: Lidewij Edelkoort &Philip Fimmano

 The past decade has seen a turning point in our relationship with materials, from design to manufacturing, with materials gradually reclaiming their central role in the creative process and beginning to dictate form rather than simply adapt to it. The exhibition explores the power of materials, which use the sense of touch to convey emotion and energy. It draws on the so-called ​“neo-materialist” movement, which reasserts the centuries-old beliefs that materials have their own force and exude an energy that people can genuinely feel.
