The year gone, 2020, has been an introspective year. We were forced to retreat into our little bubble. A solitary spiral, where we found solace and discord simultaneously. Our day to day routines, plans for the future, ways to communicate, our individuality was put to question. Increasingly, we became more aware of the slow life, the process of mindfulness bought into our actions. We dwelled on the humanity as a whole, questioned our own place in the world.
Through the theme of ‘Meditation in Material’ , Ruup & Form would like to give that space in our minds, a physical existence. Never before has a need to ensconce been greater. Our home has become our sacred safe temple. The Artists/ Makers/ Designers have responded to that stillness and chaos of the last few months that affected them individually. Each idea presented is unique and deeply personal, the excellence of their craft shines strong through the ideas the makers are plunging themselves into.
