DESIGN-NATION SOUTH: MATERIALISED
Acclaimed artists and designers to showcase their work in a unique Brighton venue.
Southern members of Design-Nation, the leading portfolio for designer-makers based in the UK, will exhibit their work at the Regency Town House this October, showcasing the best in contemporary design and art - in a beautiful Grade I listed period setting.
The exhibition will comprise a bold and striking collection of work by Design-Nation members from across the south of England, including ceramics, lighting, textiles, furniture, metalwork, enamel, jewellery, leather accessories and architectural drawings. Functional pieces, furniture and wearable art will sit alongside two dimensional, sculptural and abstract works, to create an intriguing presentation of exceptional contemporary art and making in 2025. Innovation, bold ideas, material skills and passion will be at the forefront of this inspiring show, and the artists will be on hand throughout to chat to visitors about their work. The unique setting of the partially restored Regency Town House, built in the 1820s as part of Charles Busby’s Brunswick Estate, will provide a magnificent backdrop for the contemporary pieces.
All work will be for sale and visitors are welcome to discuss commission opportunities and bespoke projects.
