Designcraft is excited to announce the addition of the iconic Knoll range to our portfolio. Knoll is behind many of the 20th Century’s most memorable modernist furniture design pieces, representing a natural addition to the Designcraft range. Knoll collaborated with influential designers including Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, Eero Saarinen, and Harry Bertoia to produce iconic and timeless pieces such as the Barcelona Chair, the Wassily Chair, the Womb Chair, the Tulip Chair, the Cesca Chair, and the Saarinen table series.

Designcraft presents Consolidate, an exhibition of unique work by some of our creative and highly skilled makers. Running from 1Nov - 20 Dec 2024, Consolidate responds to the question of what can be made from materials that would otherwise go unused—factory offcuts, bits and bobs, things that might easily be discarded. The answer is a stunning collection of work that is variously beautiful, intricate, refined, functional, and unconventional.
