Tent London and Super Brands
Tent London and Super Brands will bring an evolving and thought provoking selection of contemporary furniture, lighting, ceramics and textiles to London.
Tent London focuses on emerging local and international designers, while Super Brands showcases a selection of established brands. Over 200 brands and designers from 25 countries will be represented across the two events.
A key selection includes:
– Jake Phipps: The cult British designer will be showing his Stellar Console. The design takes inspiration from the natural qualities of amethyst geodes, and features 900 individually angled mirror sections.
– Andrea Borgogni: The sinuous line of Borgogni’s Ecco Chair is created by a continuous bended tube.
– Mineheart: Joining the event for the first time, Mineheart will be showing their King Edison pendant light.
– Charlie Styrbjörn Nilsson: Swedish designer Charlie Styrbjörn Nilsson will be exhibiting for the first time in the UK, showing his Ladder prototype, made from steam bended wood.
– Haoshi Design: Displaying their work as part of the Fresh Taiwan section, Haoshi Design will present Swallow x Clock. The clock design replaces traditional numbers with delicate concrete swallows.
As part of Super Brands a talk series titled Super Talks, will aim to engage and challenge audiences through an unstructured series of debates. This year’s theme, titled Mobilised, is broken down into four different categories; Materials and Manufacturing, Social, Futures and Economies and will be presented over the four days. Speakers chosen from industry leaders include Nina Tolstrup, Ian Hunter, Stephen Barber, Werner Aisslinger and Dirk Vander Kooij.
Tent London and Super Brands are on display from Thursday 19 – Sunday 22 September 2013 at Old Truman Brewery, London.
