On View: There’s No Place Like It

At Dora House, the Royal Society of Sculptors presents There’s No Place Like It, its 2026 Summer Show curated by designer Henry Holland.

Bringing together the work of contemporary sculptors in response to the theme of home, the exhibition considers the places, objects and environments that shape our sense of belonging. This year also marks 50 years since the Society made Dora House its home, giving the exhibition an added resonance within the building and its history.

Curated by Henry Holland, the show brings together a diverse group of sculptural practices, exploring home as both a physical place and an emotional, cultural and psychological idea.

On View: TOAST — New Makers

TOAST’s eighth New Makers programme is now open at Brompton Design District.

The immersive exhibition brings the creative worlds of five emerging international makers to life, moving beyond the finished object to explore the studio spaces, mementos, inspirations and everyday references that inform their practices.

Featuring Jacob Marks (Jacob Marks), Yuichi Romita (.f.romita), Egle Silko (Egle Silko Jewelry), Hannah Watts (HANNAH WATTS) and Linnan Ye (), the exhibition offers an insight into five distinct approaches to material, process and making.

Throughout the week, Jacob Marks and Hannah Watts will also work from the studio at selected times, making the exhibition an evolving space for both looking and making.

On View: Our Parlour

Aka the Brompton social club !

Created by four Igbo women working across design, art direction, photography and food, the immersive domestic environment draws inspiration from the Nigerian parlour: a space for gathering, eating, conversation and the passing of stories between generations.

Centred around Nchọ, Zoë Chinonso Ene’s heirloom reinterpretation of a traditional Igbo strategy game, the space brings together objects, photography, food, sound and scent within an environment designed to be inhabited rather than simply observed.

Throughout the week, Our Parlour hosts a programme of gatherings, conversations, workshops, performances and communal dining.

On View: A Veiled Boundary

Jesse Butterfield (Jesse Butterfield) presents A Veiled Boundary, now open at Brompton Design District.

Created in collaboration with Paper Foundation, the installation brings together sewn handmade paper and hand-hammered stainless steel, exploring the flexible and transformative possibilities of two seemingly opposing materials.

Paper lamps fill the space alongside sculptural steel stools, creating compositions of shadow, weight, texture and light. Each work challenges expectations of its material, allowing process and physical transformation to become integral to its final form.

For the second year running, we’ve worked with Newspaper Club to create a printed guide to the Brompton Design District. The booklet maps the District’s exhibitions, showrooms, talks and events across South Kensington, with a pull-out poster detailing the full programme.

Designed by Studio Vedèt (.vedet), the newspaper brings together the practical and the playful: a map to help navigate the neighbourhood, a guide to what’s happening where, and something to keep once the festival is wrapped. Last year exhibitors used left over copies to wrap fragile works ♻️

Long live print!

A huge thank you to Newspaper Club for helping us bring it to life for a second year, and to Studio Vedèt for the beautiful design.
