Renowned for creating objects that celebrate the joy and beauty of everyday things, Italian designer Martino Gamper has reimagined Objectspace as a social space for encounter and interaction. Across a new body of furniture focused on chairs and tables, visitors to the gallery are invited to use the space to dwell, meet or play. As well as hosting events within the exhibition, Objectspace and Gamper invite the public to book the gallery, for free, for their own use – be it for a rehearsal, family gathering or public meeting. Taking the form of a common space, the spatial layout of the exhibition changes over time, altered by the visitors who use it and shape the furniture into their own configurations.
