DESIGN TRAIL HIGHLIGHTS:
BLENHEIM FORGE transformed their workshop to show the entire process that a knife goes through in its journey from raw steel to a finished blade. They will also held demonstrations of their forging and grinding processes at 5.30pm each day.
JAN HENDZEL STUDIO presented a brand new body of work ‘Textural explorations in British timber.’ The exhibition explored the sensory nature of baked and natural timbers within furniture. As part of the exhibit, they premiered a series of short films that showcased their design philosophy and making process.
MANUFACTION showcased a range of prototypes resulting from bespoke residential projects under the brand IN-FILL. Each piece is an iteration from their practice that applies scalable and modular design principles with digital manufacturing processes to meet individual client requirements. They invited visitors to explore these prototypes and imagine how they can be customised and adapted to different spaces and situations.
