OVER 50 WORLD RENOWNED DESIGNERS TO PARTICIPATE IN RED, A SPECIAL EXHIBITION FOR THE LONDON DESIGN FESTIVAL 2012

The Conran Shop is pleased to announce RED, a special exhibition to mark 25 years at the Michelin Building during the London Design Festival 2012. The exhibition will include works by over 50 designers including Jasper Morrison, Nendo, Ross Lovegrove, Studio Job, Thomas Heatherwick, NoeDuchaufour-Lawrance, ManoloBlahnik and Front Design. The extraordinary range of international designers participating in RED reinforces the company’s philosophy of collaborating with both world-renowned designers and emerging design talent. Inspired by the iconic British Pillar Box, each piece has been specially commissioned for The Conran Shop or specially produced in a red colour-way.

RED marks a significant moment for The Conran Shop’s flagship store, celebrating 25 years at the Michelin Building. In line with the Conran ethos, products in the exhibition will cover the very best design-led furniture, lighting, fashion and home accessories.

From an exquisite cashmere throw designed by Edward Barber and Jay Osgerby, produced in the UK by Johnstons of Elgin to a three metre Lobster sculpture by legendary kite maker Petit Pan, the exhibition is sure to be a highlight of the festival this September. All pieces, including the limited edition and bespoke items, will be available for purchase from September 14th.
