Medieval Design-Inspired Exhibitions

(Re)imagining Aydon is Located in a 700-Year-Old Castle

— August 8, 2022 — Art & Design
A group of designers and academics are exploring the meanings and implications of medieval design in the contemporary moment. Their efforts have culminated in a curious exhibition that occupies the Aydon Castle which dates back to the 13th century and is considered "one of the best-preserved fortified manor houses in England." The exhibition is cleverly named '(Re)imagining Aydon.'

Various objects adorn the historic castle. Amongst them are a bright red wooden chair that takes cues from medieval design, The Sentinel chair by Mac Collins and Joe Franc, a lounge chair assembled from offcuts by Rickard Whittingham, the Aperture vessels, a pair of candleholders, and more.

The exhibition, which was initiated by Anthony Forsyth, a senior lecturer at Northumbria University School of Design, responded to the castle's history.
