"First London retrospective of internationally acclaimed artist and designer.
Before, After & Beyond, the first full retrospective in London of the work of internationally acclaimed designer, Martino Gamper, will go on show at 11 Mansfield Street, London W1G 9NZ, from 7 – 26 October 2024.
This will be Martino Gamper’s first solo show in London since his 2007 seminal ‘100 Chairs in 100 Days’ and will bring together the many different aspects of his design and craftsmanship that have never been seen together before.
Before, After & Beyond is an entire transformation of the house. Each room will be specially staged: a music and games room, a home office, a living/dining space, a bedroom, all fully furnished by Martino Gamper. The installation will cover the full range of his work from early one-off experiments, museum projects, industrial products, private commissions, as well as major new designs, rethought early works and unseen pieces – some using reclaimed materials and found works by known designers as a point of departure.
The exhibition explores and celebrates the domesticity of Martino Gamper’s work, as well as the processes of making, producing, and assembling. His work is reflective of his motive of connecting people, his interest in the social dimension of furniture, using design to create interaction.
Working across disciplines, he engages in a variety of projects including exhibition design, interior design, one-off commissions, and the design of mass-produced products at the forefront of the design industry. His design commissions range from the Prada store windows, Valextra Flagship Stores, to chairs for Rubelli and Dior, glassware for Lobmeyr, and restaurants in the Dolomites."
