"Gallery Libby Sellers presents Grandmateria, an exhibition of new design commissions from emerging designers,all of whom are exploring materials and forms that challenge and excite our expectations of design.

Works will include limited edition lighting designs from Stuart Haygarth, furniture from Julia Lohmann, storage solutions from Peter Marigold and a series of interactive chairs from Moritz Waldemeyer.

Launching during London's Design Festival and continuing through to the Frieze Art Fair in October, Grandmateria also celebrates the concept launch of Gallery Libby Sellers.

After five years as curator at the Design Museum in London, Sellers left in 2007 to establish her own independent gallery. Having overseen the successful curation and implementation of the annual Designer of the Year exhibitions, Design Mart and the Design Museum Tank program, Sellers brings a wealth of knowledge and access to some of the finest talents in the industry today to the gallery scene.

Grandmateria, a title borrowed from the 2005 album by Swiss band Morgan Lafay, acknowledges the album's thematic exploration into the mythologies of the Philospher's stone, a stone said to have alchemical powers to transmute lead into gold. By working with often humble materials, or materials out of context, each of the designers represented in Grandmateria elevates the ordinary and celebrate in the form."
