Design Nation: Beneath the Surface: Material and Meaning | Hub Sleaford

Every material holds a memory. Every object tells a story.

To celebrate 25 years of supporting British craft and design, Design-Nation presents Beneath the Surface: Material and Meaning; a powerful and poetic exhibition about how materials hold stories, memories, and emotion.

Beneath the Surface brings together selected works by 26 leading artists and makers from across the UK, showcasing a cross-section of contemporary craft in clay, glass, metal, textile, wood, and more. Each artist explores personal and shared narratives of identity, memory, migration, transformation, and resilience. The artworks encourage us to slow down and look closer, revealing vulnerability beneath their surface and uncovering deeper stories through material, technique, and process. Rooted in lived experience and shaped by sustainable practice, these objects offer quiet yet profound reflections on the unseen forces that shape our lives.

Design–Nation

Somerset House
WEST WING, W2
For Collect 2025, Design-Nation presents a baker’s dozen of craft professionals who explore juxtapositions and contrasts in finely honed artwork. These makers test tensions between order and disorder, between human-formed and natural forms, between the newly created and the re-imagined past. Respect for material, shape and structure is paramount. Elements brought together in new and unexpected combinations create highly collectible objects for the 21st century.
