Cocktail Atmospheres

Sketch, 9 Conduit St, Mayfair, London W1S 2XG.

19 September 19 - 15 November 2017

For London Design Festival, Matter of Stuff presented a series of furniture and lighting pieces which evoke the spirit of a cocktail lounge bar at Sketch. New pieces include the aptly named trolley bar A Drink with Wes by 1millimetre, the Club Chair by Glen Baghurst, and the evocative mobiles Luminarie by Sabina Belfiore Lucovich. A flight of especially designed cocktails imagined by sketch mixologists will provide an edible design experience throughout the duration of the festival, complementing the pieces on show.

The limited-edition evening drinks were available to order in the Parlour room. Matter of Stuff also unveiled Noda by Karsan Haval and Deskscape by Arturo Soto & Natalie Pichler, the design pieces created during the MOS Marble Residency programme with students from Camberwell College of Arts and Kingston University, where 15 students responded to the theme of Marble Waste and Tableware and spent time in the Carrara Marble Quarries and Workshops to produce their designs.

A series of pieces in marble and metal by five international designers from the MOS Designer Residency 2016 will complete the exhibition: Marque’ Dry Bar by AlessandroZambelli, Coulee Side Table by Nina Cho, The Veiled by Olga Bielawska, Mirrored and Remetaled by Tim Vanlier and Echo by Uufie.
