Ceramics and Glass Feature at New Designers
As usual, the annual New Designers event takes place over two separate show weeks in July. Ceramics & Glass are included in Part 1, which takes place from 3-6 July 2008 at the Business Design Centre in Islington, London, England.
New Designers is seen as the foremost UK event in graduate design and, fulfilling its annual promise, New Designers 2008 marks the emergence of the year’s brightest talents presenting their unique and fascinating degree work. The show is exciting, surprising, and vibrant – a hotbed of smart thinking and original ideas brought together in the dynamic environment of the Business Design Centre.
Not only does New Designers launch the careers of some 4,000 newly qualified designers, but it also unveils the design stars of the future. Fresh from the UK’s design leading courses, exhibitors are keen to attract public and professional attention and work is available to commission and to buy.
Trend spotter Thorsten van Elten is curating the perennially popular 'One Year On' feature where especially selected design entrepreneurs showcase collections destined for shops, galleries and private clients. There is a series of fascinating seminars and talks by some of the most influential names in the design professions, providing guidance, tips and insights into different aspects of the creative industries.
This year’s event is in memory of Peta Levi MBE (1938–2008) who played a crucial role in establishing New Designers and whose life was dedicated to supporting young creative talent.
New Designers runs from 11am-6pm, Thursday to Saturday and 11am-4pm on Sunday.
