As part of the Victoria & Albert Museum's 'Make Good: Rethinking Material Futures', Christien Meindertsma was invited to present some of her research exploring the creative applications of linoleum and wool. Christien proposed to make a solid and local linoleum as a building material that is re-pliable at its end of life. Her research is about making linoleum three-dimensional rather than a sheet material, and proposes to make linoleum from local, non-extracted materials; Linseed oil from local flax farmers, wood dusts that are a byproduct from local furniture industry and woodworking companies, chalks that are a by-product from drinking water production. The exhibition is located in Furniture, Room 133 of The Dr Susan Weber Gallery and runs until 19 October 2024.

Poland-based designer Marcin Rusak has rallied international creatives to donate work for auction in order to help raise funds for displaced Ukrainians. All proceeds fromt the auction will go to Poland’s Fundacja Ocalenie, (Rescue Foundation), a non-governmental organisation whose primary aim is to help refugees and migrants settle in by providing them with support on all fronts, from distributing housing, food and essentials, to paperwork assistance and integration with local communities. Since its founding in 2000, the foundation has helped people fleeing from Syria, Chechnya, Ukraine, Tajikistan, Iraq, Afghanistan, Somalia, Belarus, and more.

We have donated a Marmoreal Side Table designed by Max Lamb and an ExCinere Coffee Table designed by Formafantasma. Please bid generously!
