Inspired exhibition a marriage of two fine crafts

The recent Inspired exhibition during Clerkenwell Design Week brought together the finest contemporary bespoke furniture makers with the best designers of modern silversmithing in the country.

Based at The Goldsmiths’ Centre and sponsored by The Goldsmith’s Company, the exhibition took place over five days and aimed to raise the profile of both these fine artisan industries.  The designer makers “inspired” each other’s designs and worked collaboratively to create furniture and silver that worked in harmony.

“The UK’s bespoke designer makers are among the very best in the world so it is gratifying to have so much excellent work on show in one venue during such an important week in the international design calendar,” said the Master David Dewing, who attended the first night opening.
