17.11.2018–12.1.2019 – DESIGNING CRAFT CRAFTING DESIGN exhibition – Werkraum Bregenzerwald. Amazing to see the project exhibited in the exactly same space where the design process began almost two years ago.
The project DESIGNING CRAFT CRAFTING DESIGN explores the collaborative relationship between craftsperson and designer. Under our guidance, students of the Royal College of Art (RCA) London have been urged to reflect upon their position as designers in an urban context as well as in relation to and in contrast with the practices of their collaborators at Werkraum Bregenzerwald, who preserve certain working traditions within a regional craft community. The intersection of these young designers and master craftspeople is told through a journey-led exhibition, depicted through three thematic stages: material culture of Bregenzerwald, visibility and invisibility of craft, and re-contextualizing and reimagining materials and practices.
13.10.–21.10.2018 – DESIGNING CRAFT CRAFTING DESIGN exhibition – Triennale Handwerk+Form (Crafts+Form), Jöslar, Andelsbuch. The objects return to the place where they were made, to the amazing Bregenzerwald!

New project! Campaign for Paul J.
Designing Craft/ Crafting Design began with a four day workshop held at Werkraum Bregenzerwald, bringing together students from the Royal College of Art, London and craftspeople working in this alpine region. The project explores the collaborative relationship between craftsperson and designer and the shared processes of craft and design. The students at Royal College of Art have been urged to react on their position as designers in an urban context, in relation to and often in contrast with, the practices of their collaborators at Werkraum Bregenzerwald, who work within a regional craft community.
The intersection of these young designers and master craftspeople, and the experiences of the Designing Craft Crafting Design team, are told through a journey–led exhibition. Visitors are prompted to relive experiences shared by the designers and curators in Bregenzerwald, shown through the collaborative outcomes, in three thematic stages. Beginning with pieces inspired by the imposing landscape of Bregenzerwald and the region’s rich material culture, the visitors will then be introduced to works that explore the philosophy behind the makers’ craft. As understanding between the collaborators grew, visitors will witness, how they challenged and reimagines each other’s work through new processes and outcomes.
We loved shooting the portraits of these three lads from Studio Feixen for their new website. Check out the portraits and their amazing work:
