A growing desire by design-literate consumers for one-of-a-kind pieces is shining a spotlight on an elite band of gallerists who nurture new talent, creating individual, narrative-led furniture reports Lucia van der Post in his article for the Financial Times' How to Spend It supplement. One such gallery featured is Gallery Libby Sellers.
Libby Sellers is well known for providing what she calls "critical and progressive design - works that are reflective of their time". This includes works such as the Copper Mirror Series by Hunting & Narud, and collections by Formafantasma and Anton Alvarez. In her interview with Lucia van der Post, Libby Sellers discusses why she believes more and more people are seeking out extraordinary pieces of design, saying "our expectation of what role objects should play in our lives has changed. We want so much more than functionality".
