CONTEMPORARY DESIGN CRAFTS

PRECIOUS METALWORK

Welcome to New Designers 2023, the UK’s premier graduate exhibition that proudly showcases the extraordinary talent and innovative thinking of emerging designers. As the event director, I am honoured to introduce you to this exceptional gathering of the design industry’s present and future.

→ SALLY BENT EVENT DIRECTOR

The design industry is dynamic and ever-evolving, constantly grappling with new technologies, shifting consumer expectations, and an urgent need for environmental sustainability. In the face of these formidable challenges this year’s graduating class has certainly risen to the occasion, creating catalysts for change and shaping the trajectory of our society through their visionary creations.

Alongside the outstanding talent on display from our exhibiting Universities we are also proud to showcase a fantastic group of emerging businesses within ND Selects. Each exhibitor is hand-selected by a panel of industry experts and curated by Louisa Pacifico, founder of Future Icons.

New Designers 2023 is not only a showcase of remarkable design talent, but it is also a hub of knowledge and learning through our initiatives ND Educates and ND Futures School Days. ND Educates offers a series of insightful talks, workshops, and panel discussions led by industry experts. It provides an opportunity for designers, educators, and enthusiasts to delve deeper into the latest trends, challenges, and opportunities in the design world.

ND Futures is a dedicated program designed to inspire and engage the next generation of designers. It invites schools and colleges from across the country to participate in exclusive visits, workshops, and mentoring sessions. ND Futures is a unique chance for students to interact directly with the exhibitors, gain valuable insights, and ignite their passion for design.

New Designers is all about connections and I invite you to engage with the exhibitors, explore their concepts, and be captivated by the transformative power of design. The future of our collective well-being hinges on the vision and talent of these emerging designers, and I have no doubt that your experience at New Designers 2023 will leave you inspired and excited for what lies ahead.

On behalf of the entire New Designers team, I wanted to thank you for joining us in celebrating the remarkable achievements of these talented individuals and for being an integral part of the everevolving design narrative. As you navigate through the exhibition, may it ignite your imagination and foster meaningful connections that will shape the future of design, and in turn, our world.

PRINTED TEXTILES, BA (HONS) TEXTILE DESIGN, THE GLASGOW SCHOOL OF ART, T36

Rachel’s Thompson’s work explores responsible design via material reuse with the distinct goal of avoiding waste generation in the design process. Her printed textiles use sublimation digital printing to translate graphic elements textural design. Sublimation digital printing is an environmentally conscious way of printing textiles with no water waste using synthetic fabrics made from recycled plastics. Rachel states that her collection of textile samples are best suited to fashion fabrics and her designs are gender neutral and unbiased to one specific identity.

UNIVERSITY HIGHLIGHTS

As a ceramicist, Euan finds inspiration in the contrasting textures and forms of nature. He is fascinated by the way that nature can be both beautiful and harsh, soothing and jarring, subtle and bold –often at the same time. He captures this tension in his functional yet sculptural clay pieces. Blurring the boundaries between art and everyday life, his work awakens a deeper connection to the delicate balance between order and chaos in the natural world.

The collection Pattaya explores markets across Asia through a series of prints, each focussing on an individual location. The collection looks at these markets but also depicts the beauty of the flora and fauna that surrounds them. The prints use a variety of both digital and traditional techniques to produce a series of exciting and diverse outcomes. Heavily influenced by an energetic colour palette, the pieces aim to bring joy and fun back into interior spaces.

ACRYLIC SERIES, BA (HONS) JEWELLERY AND SILVERSMITHING, EDINBURGH COLLEGE OF ART, JC65

Lynn Zhang’s graduate collection Architexture takes inspiration from various traditional styles of European architecture as well as the ornate and intricate style of ancient Indian jewellery. Each piece of her collection reflects the motifs found in these mediums, transformed into wearable art that fuses traditional and modern design elements. The combined use of silver wire and colourful acrylic adds a unique dimension to each piece of the collection and draws a clear parallel to stained-glass windows found in mediaeval period churches across Europe.

→ LUCY RICHARDS

TRI-BUBBLE, BA (HONS) 3D DESIGN CRAFTS, ARTS UNIVERSITY PLYMOUTH, JC58

Lucy Richard’s graduate collection comprises a series of mixed media sculptures inspired by the assortment of coastal and oceanic buoy markers she has encountered along the coasts of Plymouth and Mount Batten. These brightly coloured buoys, serving navigation and data collection purposes, are unique to various coastlines. Lucy has responded to the architectural forms, compositions, and vibrant colours of these markers, abstracting them to create geometric frameworks filled with deformed blown glass and plaster structures.

→ HANNAH SMITH

SUBVERTED GLAMOUR, BA (HONS) FASHION TEXTILE DESIGN, DE MONTFORT UNIVERSITY, T5

Drawing upon two iconic quotes from Marilyn Monroe and Marlene Dietric (“It’s all make believe isn’t it” and “I dress for the image”) Hannah Smith’s Subverted Glamour considers themes of identity, appearance, and the façade of glamour that classic Hollywood films such as Vertigo, Gilda, and Rear Window portray. The collection combines luxury with underlying themes of destruction, evoking the glamorous yet fated characters that these films project. Contrasting and conflicting fabrics, colours, and textures meet to create complex pieces that bely masterful craftsmanship.

→ HANNAH SMITH, T5

→ RUTA VRONEVSKYTE

FUTURE MEMBRANES, BA (HONS) TEXTILES, EDINBURGH COLLEGE OF ART, T17

Future Membranes is created for a world where clothing production does not harm the climate, where biosynthetic membranes have become the predominant fabric of the day, and where textiles have become an extension of the body like a second skin. Using red algaebased biomaterial, the collection uses laser engraving and hand-made moulds to create crochet-like textiles blending traditional craftsmanship with modern materials. The vision of the collection is post-human design where perception moves past the anthropocentric towards a more harmonious coexistence with nature, and where natural ecologies are utilised to facilitate a shift towards truly regenerative design.

→ RUTA VRONEVSKYTE, T17

UNIVERSITY HIGHLIGHTS

Future Ruin is a series of six vessels which draw on an aesthetic of decay, erosion, rewilding, and the Anthropocene to explore the architecture of today through the lens of an imagined future. In her collection, Coppard sought to create pieces which straddled the line between the sculptural and functional, resulting in the rough form of a vessel. The collection combines the practical and the artistic to present a series of works that utilise elements of casting and burnout technique to create pieces of immense intricacy and complexity which remain centred around a standard, classical vase form.

BEYOND THE FRUITBOWL, BA (HONS) DESIGN FOR TEXTILES, HERIOT-WATT UNIVERSITY, T38

Emma Kilpatrick’s Beyond the Fruitbowl is a creative exploration into imperfections found in fruit and vegetables that also seeks to draw awareness to the issue of food waste in the UK. In it, she plays with perfect and imperfect forms that translate into knitted pieces that reflect organic motifs. The three-dimensional, textured pieces reference the distorted shapes that are created in the natural process of decay through a keen use of colour and structure.

→ GRACE PARKINSON-JOHNS FROM INKY WATERS, BA (HONS) TEXTILES, CARDIFF METROPOLITAN UNIVERSITY, T10

Using an entirely hand-rendered process, From Inky Waters incorporates mark making, linocut, and screen printing to produce a dynamic collection of textiles for interior design. The thematic collection explores the hidden worlds within pond flora and fauna, presenting textiles with delicate, natural motifs expressed in bold, rich, earthy colours.

What criteria did you use to curate this year’s ND Selects exhibition?

The criteria used to curate this year’s ND Selects exhibition focused on several key factors. We assessed the originality and innovation of the designs, the quality of craftsmanship, the relevance and engagement with contemporary issues, and the overall presentation and coherence of each exhibitor’s body of work.

What are some standout themes you’ve seen from the Week 1 exhibitors? Week 1 exhibitors have showcased a range of standout themes. Some prominent ones include sustainable design practices, explorations of cultural identity and diversity, innovative material applications, and a strong emphasis on human-centered design solutions.

2023 has already seen a lot of economic flux and challenges – why is this a good year for an emerging design brand to launch or expand their business?

Despite economic flux and challenges in 2023, it can be a favourable year for emerging design brands to launch or expand their business. During periods of change, there is often increased opportunity for disruption and innovation. Consumers are seeking fresh perspectives, and with the right strategies and agility, emerging design brands can position themselves to meet evolving market demands and establish their unique identity.

What advice would you give a new designer or brand looking to establish themselves with a strong start in the industry?

To establish themselves with a strong start in the industry, my advice to new designers or brands would be: First, define a clear brand identity and narrative that sets you apart from the competition. Second, build a strong network of industry professionals, mentors, and collaborators who can offer guidance and support. Lastly, embrace marketing and branding strategies that effectively communicate your unique value proposition to your target audience.

In your experience, what are some of the most common and avoidable mistakes new design businesses can make?

Common and avoidable mistakes made by new design businesses include insufficient market research, underestimating the importance of branding and marketing, and neglecting to establish strong relationships with suppliers, manufacturers, and other industry stakeholders. Additionally, poor financial management and lack of adaptability to changing market trends can hinder the success of a new design business.

If you had to list three traits that a designer needs to survive and thrive, what would they be?

Three traits that are essential for a designer to survive and thrive are creativity, adaptability, and perseverance. Creativity allows designers to push boundaries and come up with innovative solutions. Adaptability helps them navigate changing trends, technologies, and consumer preferences. Perseverance is crucial to overcoming challenges and setbacks, as success in the design industry often requires resilience and a determination to keep pushing forward.
