It was a collection of furniture, lights and ceramics, purposely designed in the spirit of story telling.
The exhibition was so lovely, a definate must see. If you love the unusual and the out there and beautiful and anything gorgeous this is a wicked one to see. It was so atmospheric, each room was based on different elements of childrens fairy tales. It was such a lovely exhibition, it made me feel quite innocent and like a child again, everything was fascinating. There was music played in each room which was more like sounds to be honest, some haunting, some beautiful and some just strange. A few favourite pieces were the "Princess Chair" by Tord Boontje in 2004, a small white chair with a beautiful veil coming off it, I can't explain it, but it reminded me of a wedding dress. I really loved this because I thought it was so incredible how Boontje had used a chair and made it into such a beautiful object. It really did have a sense of story telling and nostalgia. Another that really stood out was the "Honey Comb Vase" (2006) it was the most beautiful and delicate thing I have ever seen. It was what it's called (if that makes any sense?!) Tomas Gabzdil Libertiny had created a wire frame and then bees actually created their hive over it. You have to see it I think it is gorgeous! Any way the exhibition was fantastic and you should definately see it, is all I'm trying to say I guess!
