In the ten years since F!NK and Co. was established, it has realised founder
Robert Foster’s vision of being truly a company of designers.
Foster enjoys the cross-fertilisation of working with other designer/makers. He is
generous with his experience and willing to share, whether it is in formal
mentorships, collaborations, or by inviting others to design for F!NK. Over the
years this company of designers has included Elizabeth Kelly, Sean Booth,
Bronwen Riddiford, Rachel Bowak, Remi Verchot, Oliver Smith and Rohan
Nicol. This exhibition looks at the relationship between individual practice and the
F!NK range.
F!NK’s commitment to innovation drives the growth of the company and
underwrites investment in research and development. The unique profile F!NK has
established, its high-calibre design and technical bravura all set it apart from other
manufacturers.
