Charmed

Charmed questions the role of ornamentation within the identity of an object, through a reflection of character, reference and meaning.

Furniture Designer Cam Morgan and Interior Designer Dasha Tolotchkov present a series of furniture objects designed to materialise adornment and ornamentation through levels of detail, finishes and exaggerated techniques.

The exhibition hopes to explore the place of personification and charm between purely sculptural ornamental furniture and the everyday object.
