David Harber at Focus/24

A glossy green and silver Orbis modern metal sculpture with curved, wing-like shapes stands indoors at Design Centre in London. Next to it, white text reads: “DAVID HARBER. Made of mystery, beauty and great British craftsmanship… As if by magic.”.

This autumn, David Harber ran a pop-up showroom at the international design and decoration show Focus/24, at the Design Centre in London.

The white, minimalist showroom perfectly set off the colours and shapes of the featured artworks.

A close-up of a spherical, lattice-patterned lamp or lantern reminiscent of the Geminus bronze and gold leaf contemporary abstract sculpture at Design Centre in London casts intricate shadows and warm light on a surface, with blurred green leaves in the foreground.

A large, circular torus stainless steel mirror, reminiscent of a contemporary abstract sculpture at the Design Centre in London, is mounted on a wall with tall green plants. It reflects the modern, minimal, and natural interior space.

Extending the Realm

There was also a lively panel discussion at the pop-up, exploring the relationship between interior aesthetics and exterior design, and how the the two disciplines collaborate to create a cohesive design.

Panelists:
Harriet Quick, Contributing Editor at The Financial Times’ How to Spend It magazine; Butter Wakefield, award wining garden designer; Anne Haimes, acclaimed interior designer; David Harber, sculptor
