Wallpaper* Handmade with Jaguar makes London debut at Harrods

 

Wallpaper* Handmade, the exhibition dedicated to the marriage of craftsmanship and design, will make its London debut at Harrods this October with several newly commissioned design pieces in collaboration with British car manufacturer Jaguar. The exhibition, now in its fourth year, is traditionally hosted by Wallpaper* magazine during Milan Design Week in April. Acting as patron, client and creative director, Wallpaper* commissions designers, artists, craftsmen, makers, brands and manufacturers to create unique and one-off items of furniture, fittings, fashion and more. Now, for the first time, Wallpaper* Handmade will travel out of Milan to be shown in London. For this event, Wallpaper* has teamed up with Jaguar to present a curated selection of the best Handmade pieces from the past four years at Harrods. Around 50 pieces from some of the world’s leading designers, artists and brands, all previously commissioned by Wallpaper* editors for the exhibition, will be on display across 12 of Harrods’ Brompton Road windows. The London exhibition will exclusively introduce five new collaborations between Jaguar and emerging design talents, craftsmen and brands from around the world, all specially commissioned by Wallpaper* editors. Five new concept products, each representing an avant-garde take on Jaguar’s contemporary design, creativity and technology, will be revealed for the first time at the exhibition. Wallpaper* Handmade with Jaguar at Harrods takes place on October 4-22, 2013.
