How can material innovation and unexpected forms bring joy to the homes we inhabit every day? Designers Laura Bethan Wood, Max Lamb and Andu Masebo are rethinking materials from radical new perspectives. In rejection of uniformity, the home of today becomes a vehicle for pleasure, personality and creative liberation.

An antidote to the increasingly digitised world around us, the analogue revolution is powering up, and nowhere more so than in London where a city-wide celebration of the artisan took place last week. For the 12th edition of London Craft Week, the UK capital showcased new makers and British heritage brands at pop-up exhibitions, showrooms and unexpected venues around town.
