[ Gallery Libby Sellers ] presents HOT TOOLS, an exhibition of exquisite and intrepid glass works by the Product Design Master’s students of ECAL, the University of Art and Design Lausanne.

The exhibition is the culmination of a student workshop led by designer Ronan Bouroullec and glassblower Matteo Gonet featuring works by eight graduate designers: Rita Botelho, Diane du Chaxel, Sarha Duquesne, Philipp Grundhöfer, Felix Klingmüller, Charles Mathis, Giulio Parini and Jung-Cheng Su. The designers’ brief was to challenge conventions of glass making and the types of objects that such extraordinary processes and inventive thinking would yield. A selection of the works will be available to purchase through the gallery.

The exhibition will continue throughout the London Design Festival and will be open late for a special evening viewing on the 19th September from 6 – 9pm. Join us then to celebrate this and a special LDF installation by [ Peter Marigold ] for cashmere house Oyuna. The installation has been created to bring alive the beauty and artisan craftsmanship of the cashmere pieces while capturing the brand’s Mongolian nomadic spirit.

Regular opening hours: tuesday > friday 11a > 6p saturday 11a > 4p
London Design Festival hours (15 > 23 September): monday > saturday 11a > 6p (closed sundays)
