Seven designers - including Fabien Cappello, Simon Jones, Peter Marigold and Max Lamb - have recently been featured in 'Raw Craft: Free Thinking in Contemporary Furniture', a Crafts Council Tourning Exhibition that presented furniture characterised by "an honest, intelligent and logical approach to making". Each designer was chosen for his finesse with modest materials in the production of subtle, yet simple, objects.
Of the projects presented in the exhibition, Gallery Libby Sellers is pleased to note that Fabein Cappello's 'Christmas Tree Table' (2011), which the Crafts Council acquired for its Collection and which was displayed in the gallery's autumn 2011 exhibition 'Grandmateria II', was on display in 'Raw Craft'.
'Raw Craft' is produced by the Crafts Council with Brent Dzekciorius and Michael Marriott as curatorial advisors.
