Antecedents at the London Design Festival

For the London Design Festival this year, Aram Store presents Antecedents, an exhibition of new work and previously unseen prototypes and sketches by British designer Benjamin Hubert.

Known for their experimentation with construction and materials, Antecedents is the studio's first solo show in the UK and will feature products manufactured by ClassiCon, De La Espada, Moroso and Menu. A new and experimental lightweight table will also be shown for the first time.

The exhibition offers a glimpse into the working and thinking of the process-led studio. Objects' forms are the result of an examination of the manufacturing technique. Inspiration comes from the workshops and factories where they are made.

Working with a team of industrial designers Hubert has produced award-winning work in recent years including the A+W Audi Mentorpreis 2012, Design of the Year (British Design Awards 2010) and Homes & Gardens Young Designer of the Year 2010.
