Julien Lombray and Loic Le Gaillard, owners of the Carpenters Workshop Gallery, are constantly experimenting. Not only the collection design samples themselves, sold in the gallery, cause delight and surprise. An enterprising and very energetic gallery owner during the year manages to keep a tight schedule of exhibitions on all platforms - in London, Paris and New York. And the exhibitions themselves, as a rule, are non-trivial and brilliantly made, therefore they automatically become part of a city-wide cultural program.

Forming the Graduate (s), Lee Edelkurt looked at the graduates of 50 European universities. “A new generation of designers explores their own identity and their own roots, sometimes they directly turn to history or reconstruct the instincts of prehistoric people. All of them create hybrids based on the use of modern technologies and manual labor, forge forms and conceptualize rituals, adapting them for modern life, ”Edelkurt believes.
