The Swedish and Dutch Exhibition at ADORNO LONDON 2021

Adorno invites you to the exhibition of the Dutch collection, “An Irregular Future”, and the Swedish collection, “Maximalist 180°”. Organized in partnership with the Embassies of the Netherlands and Sweden, the exhibition presents two takes of the overarching theme for this year's Adorno London, “Designing Futures”.

Curated by design studio duo Rive Roshan, the “An Irregular Future” features six designers whose work questions the status quo and provides a new perspective to the types of pieces they have created. The Collection consists of objects that appear familiar, yet their makers’ methods of creation and approaches to materials have been turned on their heads, leading to pieces with new purposes and functions. Featured designers Geke Lensink, Jesse Visser, Object Density, Rive Roshan, Sho Ota, and Studio Thier and van Daalen offer creations that will make us question what we know about materials, techniques, and the objects themselves. Curated by design expert Stephen Markos, the Swedish collection focuses on designers who are ushering in a shift in Sweden’s design philosophy. Shedding the country’s history of minimalism, designers Andrea Santivanez, Elias Båth, Gustav Winsth, Jonatan Nilsson, Josefin Zachrisson, Julia Olanders, LAB LA BLA, Oscar Wall, Lisa Hartwig Ericson, Maria Bang Espersen, and Sofie Wallenius are moving into the realm of maximalism.
