The capsule explores lost crafts along with reclaimed and reworked materials. The show takes over the Chelsea area and brings pieces that are made from English oak and Purbeck marble. The gallery notes, “Historically significant, both materials draw on the nation’s vernacular forms and traditions of making." Across the gallery space, the pieces dubbed Plot, Cairn, Barrow, Hill, Hoard, and Lode are represented by places, materials, and techniques. The designer describes the look of each item as "something almost prehistoric."
