The aim of the show is to capture ‘a peculiar and unconventional slice of time in the production of everyday objects’, as well as to explore Barber and Osgerby’s relationship, as designers, with the production process.
The pair say say, ‘We have always been fascinated by the making process as it is an integral part of our work.

‘We have curated an exhibition that will provide a platform to capture and reveal a frozen moment in the manufacturing process and unveils an everyday object in its unfinished state. Often the object is as beautiful, if not more so, than the finished product.’
Barber Osgerby: In the Making, is at the Design Musuem, Shad Thames, from 22 January-4 May 2014.
