Time Out says
Exhibition of ceramics, furniture and other products created in limited editions by designers such as Tord Boontje, Studio Job and Marten Baas. The show focuses on designers who explore the narrative potential of objects, connecting the past with the present, and is structured in three sections: 'In The Forest Glade' features design that evokes the innocence of fairy-stories; exhibits in 'The Enchanted Castle' are inspired by the rise of the novel and prints in the eighteenth century; the works in 'Heaven and Hell' are informed by psycho-analysis, reflecting anxieties about our mortality.
