An essay that explores two key aspects: on the one hand, the growing use of methodologies imported from crafts in contemporary design production. On the other hand, the raising number of designers engaged in rendering a dimension of individuality and identity to objects, as a means to distinguish and emancipate them in the face of the anonymity and patterning of industrial and digital production.

Focusing on 21st century production, this exhibition is a joint project between the British Council and EXD05, which brings together works from the United Kingdom, Spain, Sweden and Portugal, many of which were made expressly for it.
