#CDW17: Design Undefined #3 line-up announcement

Graphic artist Anthony Burrill has defined a generation of artists and designers driven by curiosity and cultural observation. Known for his distinctive blending of language, type and colour (as well as his timeless creative mantra “Work hard and be nice to people”), Burrill has worked commercially with the likes of Apple, Google, Hermés, the British Council, London Underground and the Design Museum. Design Undefined will mark the first time that he has ever shown all his letterpress prints in one place. Bringing together 20 works the exhibition will see uplifting, inspiring and utterly original work spread throughout Clerkenwell London, tying the whole exhibition together. We are also excited to see Burrill join forces with furniture designer Michael Marriott to construct a “room within a room”. Since Design Undefined debuted at CDW 2016, Clerkenwell London has become something of an incubator for brilliant collaborations and this one is not to be missed. 

Clerkenwell Design Week is the perfect opportunity to scope out fresh ideas and finding new people and brands to fall in love with. Design Undefined will bring the incredible work of AluSID to visitors’ attention. A spin out company that stems from the University of Central Lancashire, AluSID works with recycling company Recycling Lives to answer the questions we’ve all asked ourselves at some point — what exact does (and could) happen to the hefty electrical and hardware products we dispose of every day? AluSID creates unique products that are manufactured using a minimum of 96% recycled materials. The creators of pioneering new material SilicaStone (a beautiful, versatile and sustainable surface, made from fused recycled glass fused recycled glass and ceramics, rescued from landfill) will be creating something extra special for Design Undefined, so keep your eyes peeled for more news from them and for further announcements as we get nearer to the show!
