TORD BOONTJE'S NEW SHOP AND STUDIO NOW OPEN

The internationally acclaimed designer Tord Boonjte has a long-standing relationship with Marsden Woo Gallery. He has exhibited with us several times over the years, most recently with The Lacemaker (Jun-Jul 2010) which comprised a multitude of painstakingly crafted and highly experimental pieces. Most had been woven and bound by hand using natural materials such as bamboo and raffia, employing techniques based upon those of traditional lacemaking. The show's spectacular centrepiece was a black web-like woven sofa.


Well now some of the pieces that were featured in The Lacemaker have made a re-appearance, alongside an array of Boontje's other products, one-off and limited edition pieces and the man himself at his brand new shop and studio in Shoreditch, which opened it's doors last week. With this new venture he aims to bring the designs closer to the creative process that spawns them and playfully displays them for sale in his own unique way. In doing so he has created an exciting and wondrous environment that is well worth a visit!
