Collect inhabits a singular space in the art and design world. One of the few international fairs to focus almost exclusively on contemporary objets, it remains intimate in feel, yet wears its global stature with ease. A creation of the charitable Crafts Council, the fair puts artists’ welfare front and centre, yet is savvy to the draw the museum-quality pieces exert on a global interior design community snapping up work for their landmark projects.
Fair director Isobel Dennis tells us: “Collect has reinforced its pivotal position as the
authority for contemporary craft and design,” adding: “The increasingly diverse range of galleries and artistic voices featured at this year’s fair will make the show richer in content and discovery than ever before.”
