TEN returns to 100% Design for a third successive year with
WOOD, a new project on sustainable and ethical design. TEN
has worked with design retailer twentytwentyone to produce
a range of sustainable wooden products for the home or
garden.
Following its showing at 100% Design, the Crafts Council is
supporting a national tour of the exhibition, enabling more
people to see how sustainable design can still be beautiful.
TEN is a group of ten designers who are united through
the shared vision of Chris Jackson. They collaborate once a
year to create products that refl ect the TEN ethos to take a
responsible approach to design that offers a timely antidote
to society’s high levels of consumption and throw-away
culture.
In 2008, TEN wanted to produce something real, affordable
and accessible in order to move its vision from a conceptual
framework, as shown in 10 TEN X in 2006 and TEN AGAIN
in 2007, to reality. The result is WOOD, which features a
number of designs including Nina Tolstrup’s ‘frame’ bird
feeder that responds to the rarity of spotting the wildlife
with which we co-exist in urban areas. The idea for the bird
feeder was to create a product which encourages interaction
and serves to capture a fl eeting moment by framing it.
Devon-based bespoke furniture designer
William Garvey will be exhibiting at 100% Design,
showcasing some of his most striking designs
including the Helio range of basins and baths.
An array of Spanish design talent will be on show.

Land Porcelanico is a porcelain tile company with

interior designers. It combines technical innovation,
design and sustainable methods of production. It

Gallery Collection, a colourful and modular range
