‘Twisted Tradition’ Exhibition

Here is the recently released press image for this years ‘Twisted Tradition’ exhibition, courtesy of Mint, which is also part of the London Design Festival 2015. It runs from the 19th-30th of September and is hosted at Mint Shop (check the poster for details). Check out Chogan the 3 eyed taxidermy crow at the top!!!

Perished Pets Taxidermy will be making an appearance at this exhibition, featuring Loki the 3 eyed crow, Niven’s Mc. Twisp the Alice in Wonderland inspired Rabbit and Jodi, the giant jackalope!

The selection for this year’s LDF has taken Mint on a cultural journey to the most poetic corners of craft-orientated design. A selection of work, inspired by organic shapes, natural materials and traditional craftsmanship, reveals how contemporary designers interpret our world.

Walking around the show with Deyan Sudjic reminded me how hard it is to stand out now. It’s not enough to be simply proficient any more — there is just too much design out there.

Happy to say that Perished Pets got a feature in this weekends Financial Times newspaper following our exhibit at New Designers One Year On 2015. It’s a great honour to be featured and to be considered an “emerging young design stars to look out for”. As the article explains, there is so much amazing talent out there from amazing designers & makers around the world, it’s difficult to stand out, but I like to think that Perished Pets offers something a little different!
