Gallery FUMI are pleased to unveil a new collection of cardboard design works by Max Lamb, following the success of the designer's solo show BOX in London, 2023.
BOX is an exhibition of new works by the British designer, crafted entirely of cardboard. By connecting art and anthropology to materiality and improvisation, these works embody new histories of craft and give value to a material often seen as secondary. This exhibition highlights Lamb’s affinity for breaking away from traditional processes and instead developing his own singular typologies that blend art, design and functionality.
‘With this new collection, ‘BOX 2’, I am continuing to expand upon the works I have been creating and drawing lessons from my previous experience. This ongoing process involves working with consistently varied cardboard as raw material, which naturally leads to greater diversity in my output and marks an evolution in my work. My creative response is influenced by the constraints and possibilities presented by these 'boxes’, and I respond to the inherent qualities of each box I work with. As a result, I ensure that each box is employed thoughtfully and appropriately. Starting this new cycle of exploration, I have the advantage of my accumulated experience, whilst also drawing inspiration from some of my past creations’.
Opening times:
Tuesday - Friday | 10.00 am - 6.00 pm
Saturday | 11.00 am - 5.00 pm
