‘Makerversity: designing for the real world’ is at Somerset House until 4 February 2024, celebrating ten years of the design incubator
Makerversity is celebrating ten years as a Somerset House resident with an exhibition showcasing its latest projects at the London gallery. Curated by co-founder Paul Smyth, 'Makerversity: designing for the real world' exhibits engineering and design innovations from the studio, featuring award-winning successes, ongoing research, and a diverse collection of creative voices.
Featuring work reaching from Afro-revivalist furniture by Richard Aina, to fabrics grown using bacteria from kombucha tea by group Modern Synthesis, the current collection of projects is both aspirational and socially conscious – reflecting the ethos of the studio at large. Makerversity was founded in 2013, with a foundational belief in democratising creativity.
The Makerversity anniversary show is a marvellous example of community-driven design, and a straightforward display of creative ambition. Boasting an elegant philosophy, inspired projects, and a laudable catalogue of fresh ideas, it’s sure to attract those excited by innovative work and forward-thinking engineering.
