established & sons will showcase a curated range of additions to its existing furniture and lighting collections in an installation themed taste of design, which will invite visitors to graze design both literally and figuratively.
the taste of design invites visitors to explore the idea that the “first taste is always with the eyes,” a concept credited to marcus gavius apicus, a 1st century ad roman gourmand.
“london, as a creative hub, plays a significant role in the ‘digital grazing’ of consumable aesthetics – particularly on instagram. the role of say, visual hunger in product design and in food design is explored in this exhibition as an aesthetic pairing of carefully placed textures, tones, and layering – all for maximum appeal,” said sebastian wrong, design director of established & sons. “today’s aesthetic innovations come from artists and designers who work across boundaries – food experience is having a moment – that’s interesting new ground for us to interpret and work with.”
for the 2019 edition of london design festival, established & sons have reinterpreted and introduced new variations of: beam table by konstantin grcic; lighthouse by ronan & erwan bouroullec; cho light by dimitri bähler; and the heidi stool and filigrana light by sebastian wrong to the principal collection.
“as an ambitious design brand established & sons is committed to creating relevant products people can live and grow with,” says sebastian wrong. “to do this we keep the doors wide open for designers to revisit their work. the conversation is open so that the range can evolve and create versatile products for modern life at home and in the workplace.”

[ Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec ] Bivouac is a mid-career exhibition highlighting two of the most exciting and innovative designers of the 21st century. Born and based in France, the brothers not only design elegant and beautiful objects—chairs, sofas, lamps, tables, and dishware—but they also develop pioneering hybrid forms that defy categorization and shape space in clever new ways. The title of the exhibition is inspired by this multipurpose hybridity, as a bivouac is a lightweight encampment or shelter that can be adapted to its environment just as Bouroullec products are adapted by their end-users and the spaces they inhabit.

Alessi’s Ovale collection of plates and cutlery designed by the Bouroullec brothers will be on display as part of the exhibition. The Ovale collection originally launched in 2010 and just recently extended to include two new color versions of the table service: pink and light grey. The addition of the full cutlery service is also new for 2012.
Flos’s Piani, a light with a flat base and top available in multiple colors. Its enlarged base functions as a tray table to contain objects like pens, eyeglasses, keys, coins and paper clips. Piani’s light shines down on them as though they’re center stage. Piani features LED lighting with an injection printed lamp body in ABS. Dissipater in polished pressofused aluminium. Diffuser in injection printed optical PMMA. 2011.

One year after he got his Masters in Design Products at the Royal College of Art in London in 2001, Sylvain Willenz opened his own design office in his hometown of Brussels. In the past eight years he’s worked with brands like Cappellini, Established & Sons, Hay and Tamawa, and has won a handful of awards, including two Red Dot Best of the Best Product Design Awards for his work with Freecom Mobile Drive.
What I particularly like about Willenz’s work is that even when it’s at its most technical it remains approachable, never intimidating. The simple, minimal forms and bright elementary colors are a friendly callback to the Bauhaus aesthetic. In fact, one of Willenz’s more recent pieces, the Folk rug, is right at home with Bauhaus textile designer Anni Albers’ bold geometrical patterns.
Designed for Chevalier Edition, the Folk rug “was born out of the desire to organize geometric forms while exploring colors and structure. The motifs clearly evoke and play with the idea of folk or traditional rugs in a deliberately simplified manner.” Willenz, who works mostly in lighting and furniture and has never before collaborated with a manufacturer on a textile or pattern said “the opportunity to work solely on a graphic level does not occur very often in my design office and when Chevalier Edition approached me for this collaboration the assignment was certainly appealing. The exploration of two-dimensional forms became, without a doubt, most liberating and I truly enjoyed this exercise.”
The Folk rug is made from 100% handknotted wool and comes in three color variations, Light, Dark and Bright.
