Press Release For this year’s London Design Festival, Mint will showcase its intriguing and thought provoking show Mint Escapes. The exhibition will present The Escapists of contemporary design as our modern day storytellers who use the medium of design and craft as the interpretive voice of imagination. This project is in collaboration with Max Fraser author of the Annual London Design Guide 2009, which will feature an article on the Escapists among other groups of current design trends. Mint Escapes will reveal the mundane as eccentric, and assert individual experience and creativity as being inherently unique. By approaching contemporary issues as narratives to be explored, the Escapists will contest established boundaries and offer us new insights into the role of the surreal in design. Our select list of exhibitors, encompassing both international contemporary designers and up-and-coming talent, will be released shortly.
