Design stars of the future chosen for One Year On at New Designers

New Designers, the exhibition for emerging design, has revealed the future of design in the 2013 line-up for One Year On. Following a rigorous selection process, this highly-anticipated part of the exhibition will showcase a group of talented designers who are in their first year of business, giving visitors the chance to see and buy the trends of the future before they hit the high street. ekonglong office cubicle

Joanna Feeley, director of Trend Bible, says: "One Year On is a brilliant reflection of the trends we’re seeing for 2014 and is a must for retailers and shoppers alike. In 2014, there will be a focus on bold exaggerated shapes. We’re also seeing a trend for products that have a tactile quality and contrast natural with synthetic, such Leigh Cameron's furniture which blends wood with concrete."

Curated by designer Jethro Macey, One Year On brings together products that are tipped to be the iconic designs of the future. The designers are chosen to take part on the strength of their entrepreneurial flair and the exceptional quality of their work. This year’s line-up includes everything from taxidermy-inspired ceramics and interior products featuring striking insect silhouettes, to unisex brooches based on Mexican Calvary insignia and hand spun yarn from a collective of spinners.

One Year On runs across Part 1 and Part 2 of New Designers, featuring creative disciplines ranging from jewellery, precious metalwork, ceramics and glass to fashion and textiles, furniture, lighting, interior products and illustration.
