Now And Then
Posted by: Keats on 17th Feb 2011 in Keechdesign News
More on the upcoming THEN-NOW Show
11th March - 24th April 2011, (as in previous article)
The THEN-NOW Show is an exhibition of 15 designers who were originally amongst the graduates selected by Zeev Aram to take part in the Aram Design’s Annual Graduate Shows in the late 1980s and early 1990s. This exhibition revisits the work of these designers to show the development of their career over the last 20 years or so. Their work will be represented by their designs at graduation, THEN, alongside recent work, NOW.
Zeev Aram opened his first store on London’s Kings Road, Chelsea, in 1964 at a time when there was very little in the way of modern furniture on the market. He had a real passion for design and was the first to introduce the works of designers such as Carlo Scarpa, A & P.G. Castiglioni, Marcel Breuer, Le Corbusier and V. Magistretti to the UK market. These were truly radical designs at the time and it may have seemed a gamble to show these works as part of a commercial venture. Aram however, believed that here were pieces that were important, beautifully designed and well manufactured that would stand the test of time. And so they have.

THEN and NOW
Posted by: Keech on 3rd Feb 2011 in Keechdesign News
The THEN - NOW show is an exhibition at the Aram Gallery that I'm very happy to be a part of. It will run from 11th March to 24th April 2011.
It's an exhibition of fifteen designers who graduated in the late '80s and early '90s and whose designs were shown THEN, at the Aram Designs Graduate Exhibitions - revisiting the work of these designers NOW. The designers are:
Jane Atfield
Sebastian Bergne
Adam Brinkworth
Konstantin Grcic
Thomas Heatherwick
Victoria Jessen - Pike
David Keech
Wakako Kishimoto
Tom Lloyd
Kevin McCullagh
Corin Mellor
Peter Naumann
Ben Panayi
Luke Pearson
Sonya Winner
Rediscovering my THEN pieces has been a catalytic experience. Challenging in that some of them were complex and needed to be repaired and re-assembled (no CAD drawings to refer to!); and reassuring in that they still sit comfortably with my work today. One of the messages of this exhibition must surely be to never throw anything away.
Here is a taster - a drawing I did back then (the drawings were as important as the pieces themselves). For the 3D work, you'll have to come to the exhibition...
