At this year?s London Design Fair, ?Trentino Collaborations? was an initiative that fostered the development and delivery of novel home products. Trentino is an autonomous province in Italy?s far north and a region with a history steeped in craftsmanship. An inspiring endeavour, this innovative venture nurtured partnerships between several Trentino-based enterprises, four London-based designers and the London Design Fair. It spawned four collections: the Campione chair by Max Lamb and Pedretti Graniti; the Rondo chair and sofa by Lucy Kurrein and Molinari Design; the Stipple Screen and Marquetry by Giles Miller and Euro Porfidi; and Trentino Storage by Sebastian Cox and L’Arte del Legno.Max Lamb.Lucy Kurrein.With the ?Trentino Collaborations? project, the London Design Fair was keen to focus on the ways in which creativity and cultural values harmonise with a traditional ethos and the employment of artisanship. Celebrating local Trentino materials and customs, the model validates Trentino?s status as a craft region. Moreover, it promotes international collaboration in a sustainable manner.RELATED: Anglepoise: The Quintessence of Great British DesignGiles Miller.Sebastian Cox (right).Campione chair by Max Lamb and Pedretti GranitiAn RCA graduate and once named a ?Designer of the Future? at Design Miami/Basel in 2008, Max Lamb?s designs foster tradition at their core, promoting a dialogue between the maker, material and user.
