The Chair, In A Room, In A House @ four23
Using the words of Eliel Saarinen as a starting point, later adopted by Charles and Ray Eames, ‘The Chair, In a Room, In a House’ is an immersive experience exploring the relationship between our physical surroundings and our ability to think, dream and create.

Plastic Ernö: Michael Marriott @ 2 Willow Road
To celebrate 20 years of Goldfinger’s 2 Willow Road being open to the public, designer Michael Marriott created Ernö – a wall-mounted coat hook. Marriott’s work takes inspiration from the fluidity of Goldfinger’s work and the exhibition charts the hook’s design and manufacturing process.
