Liberty Exclusive
10 September 2009

We're teaming up with Liberty on an exhibition titled Britain Can (Still) Make It.

Curated by David Nicholls, Design Editor of the Telegraph Magazine in association with Michelle Alger, Liberty’s home and furniture buyer, the exhibition takes inspiration from the 1946 show, ‘Britain Can Make It’ held just after the War at the V&A. Britain Can Make It promoted ‘by all practical means the improvement of design in the products of British industry’.

“Over half a century after the V&A show, we find ourselves in a similar position of doom and gloom. The economic outlook is bleak, British manufacturing is down, and our icons are struggling. I wanted to celebrate both traditional and completely new British craftsmanship to maintain that Britain can STILL make it! I approached Liberty to house the Britain Can Still Make It exhibition during London Design Week as they have always been a unique platform for design where the finest meets the rarest and have a long history of supporting British craft.”
David Nicholls; Design Editor, Telegraph Magazine

The exhibition will present a mix of established and burgeoning designers from the world of furniture, lighting, ceramics, textiles and metal - all of whom produce their work in the UK.

Come and see our latest collaboration at the Liberty store.
