True Brits: Celebrating Britain at London Design Week

London – Celebrating British design, department store Liberty is hosting an exhibition consisting simply of home-grown talent. The ‘Britain can (still) make it’ exhibition, curated by David Nicholls, design editor of the Telegraph, takes inspiration from the 1946 V&A exhibition ‘Britain can make it’. The exhibition features products from the likes of Tim Parsons, Mark Holmes and People Will Always Need Plates.

‘Over half a century after the V&A show, we find ourselves in a similar position of doom and gloom,’ says Nicholls. ‘The economic outlook is bleak, British manufacturing is down, and our icons are struggling. I wanted to celebrate both traditional and completely new British craftsmanship to maintain that Britain can still make it.’
