Gallery FUMI is delighted to present ‘The Function of Form’, a new exhibition centred around the ways our artists and designers experiment with the form of their materials. Each of the artists create new worlds through material interaction, whether this be spiritual, practical, or decorative. They distinguish themselves from each other in myriad ways, with one important link between them: their use in our lives.
The works encompass an enlivened awareness of the wider possibilities of form in design, challenging traditional ideas about what it means for a work to be ‘functional’.
When you consider the breadth of different materials and the plethora of different production methods and processes, function becomes a fluid language subject to the limit of a material’s possibility. Max Lamb embodies this through his works in wood, ceramic, and cardboard boxes, extending his polymathic understanding of material to its limit while always putting the human at the centre of his practice.

About
Gallery FUMI
There were fewer specialist galleries, fairs and rather less of an audience for unique and limited edition design works, when Sam Pratt and Valerio Capo decided to open Gallery FUMI in 2008. Both came from non-design backgrounds (banking and marketing respectively) and the only driving factor in their inception of this project was pure and unadulterated passion, not to serve the market, such as it was, but to invest in the people making the work.
