London-based Sarah Myerscough Gallery participated in the FOG Design+Art fair for the first time this year. The fair took place at the Fort Mason Center for Arts and Culture, San Francisco from January 17-20.The highlight of the gallery’s debut exhibition at the fair was Joseph Walsh’s “Dommus” collection. One of the most significant contemporary furniture makers, Walsh was brought up in Ireland and is largely self-taught from an early age. His work is inspired by his natural environment of rugged and wooded landscape. His work can be found in major private and public collections across the world including the Museum of Arts and Design, New York, USA, and the Centre Pompidou, Paris, France.Marcin Rusak, known for his flower infused resin “Flora” collection, showcased his “Perma” series, which gives life to discarded flowers that become a permanent part of the material. “Bound by resin then machined lengthwise, the surface reveals a whole other natural world; where petals, stems and buds come together in a whirling spectrum of colors and shapes,” said the gallery describing Rusak’s collection.Another highlight was Marlene Huissoud’s recent collection “Cocoon,” made from silkworms’ cocoons cast in silicon bronze with black patins. According to the gallery, the works are beautifully sculptural and challenge design as simply functional while exploring new processes of making, in particular the use of sustainable material.Nic Webb brought his monumental red wood pieces. The designer uses traditional tools, modern methods as well as elemental forces, such as fire, ice, air, and water to shape and sculpt in an unbound and organic manner.British designer Peter Marigold, and Tadanori Tozawa from the renowned Japanese company Hinoki Kogei, Japan, presented the “Cleft Series,” featuring six cleft cabinets. According to the gallery, each cabinet has been achieved by using single pieces of Japanese woods, cleft for each cabinet, resulting in a highly textured surface, reflected on each door. One such cabinet is now part of the collection of the Victoria and Albert Museum, London.Other designers showcased by Sarah Myerscough at FOG 2019 include Wycliffe Stutchbury; 2017 Loewe Craft Prize winner Gamperl; organic wood objects by Ricourt; British Wood Awards 2017 nominee Eleanor; and London-based designer Gareth Neal.For more information, visit: https://www.sarahmyerscough.com/Click on the slideshow for a sneak peek at the collection. https://www.blouinartinfo.com/ Founder: Louise Blouin Read more
