The Thinking Hands: Peeling back convention

The Thinking Hands show will present 45 works from 37 undergraduate and postgraduate students. These include new ways of sourcing and manufacturing materials, such as Solskin Peels – tableware made from citrus peel using microwave technology, by Ori Sonnenschein – and the RAWtation, a table that fuses plastic rotation moulding with organic raw materials, by Adi Zaffran Weisler.

In The Transformation Age, which LS:N Global explores in our Spring Trend Briefing, designers are increasingly inventing new, anarchic ways of manufacturing materials, influenced by the revival of old techniques.
