Our Gallery

Our gallery is a place for industry and enthusiasts to engage with and learn about contemporary design. A place for supporting independent practitioners and for giving ideas the space to come to life. We achieve this through collaborating with guest curators and exhibitors from a broad range of disciplines, with an approach that centres on experimentation, prototypes and play, while always considering the context of our physical space and our history.

Founded by Zeev Aram in 2002, the gallery that once occupied our third floor was dedicated to new and experimental design mainly focused on furniture, lighting and industrial design, with forays into jewellery, graphics, fashion, and even bookbinding. Until the pandemic, it presented four to five exhibitions per year, featuring both emerging and established designers, and gained international attention under the guidance of Daniel Charny, Héloïse Parke, and later Riya Patel. After a brief return post-Covid and following Zeev Aram’s passing in 2021, the gallery now continues its legacy in a new home on the lower ground floor at 110 Drury Lane where it remains, as always, a space for curiosity and meaningful engagement with design.

Mould by Proof of Concept

Our current exhibition ‘Mould' is now open. It is curated by the dynamic exhibition platform Proof of Concept.

Mould explores the craft of moulding across ceramics, plastics, metals and other materials, uncovering the potential at each stage of casting, forming and finishing. By examining how a mould affects the structure and character of an object, the exhibition emphasises the connection between material, technique and the maker’s hand, celebrating the significance of moulding in contemporary design. Proof of Concept is a design platform founded in 2024 by David Irwin, Smith Matthias and Atelier Thirty Four to explore the intricate processes that underpin design practice. The initiative brings together multidisciplinary studios and independent practitioners spanning furniture, product design, ceramics, textiles and architecture. It showcases self-initiated projects, prototypes and works that never reached production, offering a rare view of the challenges and experimentation that shape the journey from concept to completion.

Mould exhibitors include Alt Studio, Atelier Thirty Four, Chris Martin, David Irwin, Elliot Denny, Emma Louise Payne and Phoebe Stubbs, Josh South, Martina Claesson, Mentsen, Smith Matthias, Supergroup and Tabatha Pearce Chedier.
