Ab Rogers Design: A Day in the Life of Ernesto Bones

“My name is Ernesto Bones and I write to you with an important request.
I have a very serious problem that only you can help fix.
You see, though I am writing to you now, I do not yet truly exist...”

So began the letter sent by Ab Rogers Design to 24 different creative protagonists from a range of disciplines, asking each to contribute a short narrative which would combine to bring Ernesto Bones to life. The fictional character, and the process by which he came about, is presented in Ab Rogers Design’s new Stanley Picker Fellowship exhibition.

Contributors to Ernesto Bones in sequential order: Sara Fanelli; Heston Blumenthal; Tom Scott; Monica Narula; Jane Nisselson; Ben Kelly; Deyan Sudjic; Michael Elias; David Tanguy; Adrian Searle; Charlotte Cullinan; Miranda Carter; Shelley Fox; Lesley Bunch; Fergus Henderson; Helena Reckitt; Jane Withers; Simon Ofield-Kerr; Aric Chen; Daniel Hunt; Susan Cohn; Andrea Branzi; Michael Connor; John Hegarty.
