DESIGN FOR GOOD

Xavier Montoy

Eyes on Talents member, Xavier Montoy, is taking part in the group exhibition The Art of Making : Artisanat et Design de Berlin à Paris at the Petit Palais from 24 February to 1 March 2026, celebrating the creative dialogue between Paris and Berlin. The event brings together 73 exceptional craftspeople to focus on three key themes: the legacy of Art Nouveau and Art Deco, the boldness of contemporary design, and the challenges of tomorrow. Xavier Montoy is exhibiting his Gemma necklace, named after the Latin word for both bud and precious stone. A graduate of the École Boulle and ENSCI - Les Ateliers, Xavier Montoy founded his design studio in 2019. Captivated by the living, he sees it as a platform for dialogue and synergy between scientists and fine crafts professionals. Keen to raise awareness of the beauty and rarity of living things, Xavier naturally adopts virtuous practices in his studio, favouring organic materials and reusing copper baths for his electrolysis processes.

PLATFORM: Simone Brewster

PLATFORM is an annual display on the first-floor atrium gallery in the heart of the Design Museum, dedicated to showcasing contemporary design practice. Opening in February 2026, the second edition in the series will present the fascinating work of designer Simone Brewster.

Simone Brewster is a designer whose work plays with form, working across scales and disciplines, defying a quick categorisation. She employs a visual language that is architectural and sculptural, rich with material histories and layered with references from palaeolithic fertility deities to African diasporic traditions.

Spanning four sections entitled 'Passages', 'Everyday Ornaments', 'Scales of Emotion' and 'Body Narratives', this monographic display will explore Brewster’s multidisciplinary practice, as well as the rich narratives and histories she imbues within her designs.
