Before, After and Beyond

Before, After & Beyond is Gampers first full London retrospective since his seminal '100 Chairs in 100 Days' in 2007. Bringing together the many different aspects of his design and craftsmanship and highlighting Gamper's use of design to create interaction.

"Over the last few months, we have immersed ourselves in his archive; to discover new and rediscover familiar pieces; to discuss, and to gain a better understanding of his design and creative process.

The focus of our conversations has been on quality; quality of work, life, time, research, food, family and friends. This focus informed our selection of pieces, and the grouping of themes, to reach the final edit of chairs, tables, “Chables”, cabinets, screens, shelves, mirrors, vases, beds, desks, lights, hooks, books and more.

The idea was to fully embrace the journey so far, in order to navigate and prioritise what the future should and can become." - Sarah Douglas
