No Randomness
2015
Curation: Oscar Lhermitte
Set design: Oscar Lhermitte and Stinsensqueeze

No Randomness explains the design logic behind a range of humble products that serve us every day. From packing peanuts to bottle caps, manhole covers and the 50p coin, the exhibition aimed to show that these products and systems are far from being randomly conceived, and have been expertly designed for economy and practicality. The ongoing collection of objects highlight a design that makes the complex simple in all modesty.

Originally curated for the 2015 Biennale International Design Saint-Etienne, the exhibition has since been travelling to the Tallinn Design Festival (Estonia), the Designrejio Kortrijk (Belgium), the Lodz Design Festival (Poland), The Aram Gallery (London), the Clerkenwell Design Week (London), the Wuhan Design Biennale (China) and the Guofeng Art Museum Shenzhen (China).
