Established over 25 years ago, Flow brings together a thoughtful curation of international makers at its intimate gallery in London. This year, Flow’s stand focuses on the ‘Spirit of Things’. The theme expresses how hand-crafted objects are imbued with ‘spirit’ – they evidence the maker’s process and come alive through sensorial encounters. The simple pleasure of experiencing this spirit, particularly in everyday things, is central to the ethos of Japanese craft. Flow’s stand explores how craft from Japan and beyond finds beauty in simplicity, to achieve balance and serenity through the objects around us. The concept celebrates the philosophy of minimalism, placing emphasis on organic textures in clay, textiles, wood, washi paper and glass.
