Designers in Residence 2009-2010: Part II

27th January - 8th March 2010

The Design Museum
Shad Thames, London

At the end of this month the Design Museum will unveil the second part of their annual Designers in Residence programme for 2009-2010. The display will feature new works from Asif Khan and Bethan Wood, as well as an installation by the Farm collective.

Now in is third year, Designers in Residence is an annual programme where the Design Museum invites young designers to create site-specific work and transform the ground floor of the museum.

Asif Khan will showcase a new furniture system in the museum Tank, which is made from a collection of local flora he has preserved through a freeze dying process. Bethan Wood will furnish the museum cafe with functional furniture made from recycled material, on which she has created a patchwork on laminates using the traditional craft of marquetry. The Farm collective (Giles Miller, Alexena Cayless, Sebatian Hejna and Guy Brown) will convert the Atrium into a studio space and design salon where they will debate and reveal the processes that link design, manufacturing, and consumption.
