MADEINBRITALY showcases contemporary applied arts and collectible design, aiming to revive the connection between Italy and Great Britain, two nations that sought a synthesis between aesthetic value and the industrial production of manufactured goods. MADEINBRITALY pursues two main themes: one purely decorative, including unique pieces or limited editions by contemporary artists and makers, the other focusing on exquisite objects of use created by contemporary designers. In addition to exhibiting artworks by established artists and designers, the gallery is also an experimental platform for emerging talents working in a variety of media including ceramic, glass, wood and textiles.
