This winter, Gravers Lane Gallery debuts Designed to Dwell, an invitational group exhibition bringing together leading craft artists and newly invited makers of space for an exploration of form, light, and aesthetics for the home. Opening December 5, 2025 (5–8pm) with a second reception on January 2, 2026 (5–8pm), the exhibition invites collectors, designers, and homeowners to discover design objects within the world of Contemporary Craft. 

Designed to Dwell is the gallery’s first exhibition primarily devoted to furniture and lighting, exploring the design world through makers of Contemporary Craft. The artists at the heart of this exhibition conceive, design, and meticulously hand-make every piece themselves. As studio practitioners who are also designers, their work reflects technical mastery, deep material knowledge, and a unique perspective on how objects shape space and perform function. Drawing on craft traditions and design history, their work balances function and artistry, celebrating both beauty and purpose.

Shaping Space for Designers & Homeowners: With its mix of collectible fine art and bespoke design, Designed to Dwell offers objects that are both functional and sculptural, practical and poetic. The works embody handmade expertise, meticulous craftsmanship, and the ethos of slow design. The exhibition presents works that literally and figuratively shape the way a home is experienced, inviting designers and homeowners to create spaces that are truly unique and disregard trends. GLG invites viewers to consider thoughtful, creative, and purposeful design for their spaces—honoring the spirit of Contemporary Craft.

Special Offerings: In addition to the works on view, curated catalogues of other available works will be accessible for the duration of the exhibition. These works will be available for purchase and custom orders from exhibiting artists, reflecting the exhibition’s character of unique, personalised design.
