Project: ReDesign - Sustainability in New British Design exhibition and catalogue
Client: The British Council
Date: 2001-2003

ReDesign was an international touring exhibition produced for the British Council that brought together some of Britain’s most exciting achievements in sustainable design. The range of exhibits was broad, from a revolutionary oil platform to a microscopic gyroscope, to fertiliser made from human waste. Each one had to be explained in tangible, topical and straightforward terms.

The mix worked: ReDesign toured the far east for two years following its opening in Oslo by HM The Queen.

ReDesign was curated and written by Michael Evamy. Design was by Mark Bond (exhibition) and Rebecca Foster (catalogue).

"Smokestacks, coalmines and mad inventors... It’s the traditional image of British enterprise, and it’s as old as the Industrial Revolution. We could consign it to the dustbin of history. Or, as good recyclers, we could extract what’s positive from the past and turn it into something sustainable for the future."
