Materiality and Space for Contemplation

Materiality and Space for Contemplation Past Event

Presented by Great Dane Furniture


An immersive escape allowing guests to experience the world of Great Dane through all the senses. 

At Great Dane, we strongly believe in design that takes time. For the past 20 years we have passionately dedicated ourselves to understanding each element that goes into crafting a piece of furniture; materials, makers and methodology. In homage to the artisanal craftspeople we owe the pleasure of working alongside, we ask that you take a moment to slow down with us. Join us for a moment of contemplation and sensory exploration surrounding materials and the role they play within our lives.

Begin your journey in the forest followed by a short guided meditation by Ryan Mannix featuring yoga mats by Tärnsjö Gaveri; a Swedish leather tannery embracing a completely vertical production process.

Tea will be served and the space is yours. Take a breath and immerse yourself in a material installation – touch, see, listen, taste and smell the beauty of natural materials. Create your own experience.

A simple, yet deeply humanistic approach to interacting with materials, this event allows you to connect with design at its rawest form.
