Design-Nation is a membership portfolio of some of the most acclaimed and innovative designers and craftspeople across the UK. Founded over 20 years ago, it is distinctive both for its support and promotion of designer/makers, and its partnership programmes.
The portfolio, selected by an independent expert panel, comprises a rich and diverse pool of highly skilled designer/makers whose collective works demonstrate authentic, exceptional craftsmanship and design ability.
In collaboration with UK-wide partners, champions and funders, Design-Nation’s aim is to strengthen business and creative development opportunities for the contemporary design and craft sector. After showing at Collect’s inaugural and second editions, Design-Nation is delighted to return with a curated selection of new and exceptional pieces focused primarily on metal, textile and wood.
