As part of the upcoming London Design Festival, design cooperative Adorno present ‘Crossovers’, an exhibition of dynamic works from a range of independent designers around the world. The exhibition celebrates the notion that designers and communities play a central role in maintaining and renewing a continued appreciation of design and crafts. The show highlights the unique traits and beauty of various countries and cultures, facilitating a cross-cultural dialogue that departs from design and evolves into societal issues.
Founded in Copenhagen in 2017 by design lovers/ tech entrepreneurs Kristian Snorre Andersen and Martin Clausen, Adorno is inspired by Nordic co-operatives within agriculture and fishing, where individuals prosper through cooperation. Setting out to build an international collaboration that empowers independent designers and the local communities they are part of, Adorno incorporates a digital design platform, an international legal department, and a global cost-efficient shipping solution. The shipping enables autonomous collaboration between curators and designers from local communities to promote and sell their work to a growing segment of international buyers.
For ‘Crossovers’, works submitted from each participating country are curated by different local design authorities, each collection distinct in reflecting the particular design style and aesthetic native to the given country. Viewed together, the collections build a reflective overview of the current state of design and craft cultures today.
According to Adorno, “these artists are vital in defining the individual scenes; developing a new design language while maintaining and reinterpreting historic traditions in a combination of old and new techniques.”
