FOYLES: An ode to A Rebours / by claire sokell thompson

Timorous Beasties

In Huysmans' iconic novel Against Nature, a decadent aristrocrat indulges his taste for luxury and excess, gorging his aesthetic appetites with exotic jewels, rich perfumes and sensual experiences.

Taking this as our cue, the 3rd Futurecity exhibition at the Gallery at Foyles showcases the work of eleven leading makers/designers: Shaun LeaneTimorous BeastiesFabien CappelloTom PriceStudio GlitheroStudio Swine, Jason Marks,Leigh CameronEmma Yeo, Peter Saville for Dovecot Studios and Alice Cicolini.

Co-curated by Alice Cicolini, designer, commissioner and published author; and Mark Davy, Founder of Futurecity, we will showcase master craftmanship and design structured through the commissioning of a unique collaboration with sensory branding agency Vetyver.
