The second title in the PLATFORM series dedicated to showcasing contemporary design practice will present the fascinating work of Simone Brewster
The work of designer Simone Brewster bridges art, design and architecture through a striking language of form and material. Rooted in both cultural identity and personal narrative, her practice spans furniture, jewellery, and objects that explore scale, beauty and belonging.
Drawing on traditions of craft and modernist principles alike, Brewsters pieces evoke a sense of strength and intimacy sculptural yet deeply human. Her use of wood, metal and pigment transforms familiar materials into expressions of power and self-definition, questioning how design shapes our understanding of heritage and the body.
This publication, the second volume of the new PLATFORM series at the Design Museum, delves into Brewsters multidisciplinary practice through essays, images, and an extended interview with the designer. PLATFORM is dedicated to foregrounding contemporary design discourse and the transformative potential of design.
