To coincide with Martino Gamper’s London Design Festival Commission – Disco Carbonara at Coal Drops Yard – Samsung presented Idiosincratico: an exposition of the designer’s creative practice curated by Jane Withers.
The Samsung space offered a unique vantage point on Gamper’s installation. As well as viewing the exhibit, visitors also interacted with the latest technology, and took part in an ongoing series of events, workshops and performances.Presenting three significant projects, Idiosincratico provided an insight into Gamper’s creative process – exploring his distinctive and playful approach to dissembling and reinventing familiar domestic objects. At the heart of each of Gamper’s projects was the notion of thinking through making and examining how process informs the physical outcome. For Hookaloti, Gamper took a single typology – the wall hook – and riffed on it, improvising with the form, material and expressive possibilities of a simple everyday object. In Metamorfosi, a project to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the Italian furniture company Moroso, Gamper took pieces from their catalogue and cut and spliced them to create a design mash-up. By contrast, Arnold Circus Stool was a project for the public realm initiated to support the regeneration of the landmark site on Shoreditch’s Boundary Estate, London’s first social housing project. Supported by Samsung KX.
