‘When a piece of design is truly great, its function falls away and you’re left with its design. He balanced perfectly form and function, and the result is art.’ Curator @oscarhumphries on designer Christopher Dresser.
Humphries presents a short film and digital exhibition on Christopher Dressor’s work, exploring one of the most innovative and influential designers of the 19th century. Dresser dabbled in ceramic, textile glass and metal, working with some of Britain’s most important manufacturers of the time.
Designing with a modernist spirit and inspired by Japanese aesthetic and craft, he experimented with cutting-edge technologies (such as electroplating, to create a metal coating on his objects) creating pieces that were functional and democratic.
‘Dresser had such a huge influence — when he was alive but also after. His trip to Japan is one of the reasons why the Japanese aesthetic had such a transformational effect on design in the late 19th century,’ observes Humphries. ‘I’m obsessed with Dresser because he did so many different things – he was a botanist, an educator, a Japanophile, a polymath, and a genius.’
