KELLEY AND RANDALL
A new design for living
Paul Kelley and Justine Randall
An exhibition of Contemporary Furniture and Textiles
Inspired by the ethos of Anni and Josef Albers that everyday life can be enhanced and enriched through good design, Paul Kelley and Justine Randall will present their latest work, A New Design for Living, at Oneroom gallery.
With a shared aesthetic, they will demonstrate distinct living spaces, using Paul Kelley's cubes and furniture and Justine's hand woven tapestries.
As you work your way up through the four-storey house you will see a number of different configurations that
demonstrate the versatility of the cubes set against a backdrop of textile wall hangings all within the Oneroom house.
Justine's Night Sky series is inspired by the extreme colour, density and texture of the night and the light polluted skies of London, her work focuses on colour and landscape and charts changes in time, season and our evolving climate.
Paul Kelley's magnetic cubes allow you to connect them in all directions. Strong enough to hold together yet simple enough to pull apart so that you can use your imagination to create different design modules - construct a table, a chair, storage unit, even some steps, it is the easiest thing to do.
Changing furniture daily with the same cubes can offer endless possibilities.
