About

From a workshop to an exhibition, the partnership between Grymsdyke Farm, Universal and Map first started in early 2025.

Conceived by Marco Campardo and Guan Lee, the 2-day ‘Reading Design’ workshop prompted Universal and Map’s teams to focus on how we learn through design—by observing, experimenting, and responding to materials and processes. Exploring lost-foam casting to create a series of vases, participants from both teams examined how making both shapes is shaped by constraints, ensuring that the process remained evident in the final outcome. This workshop highlighted the relationship between how things are made and the physical traces left behind, inviting participants to “read” design through its making.

At the end of the workshop, a curated selection of foam design pieces were transformed into glass vases and will be exhibited at Universal and Map’s studio during London Craft Week 2025 – bringing ‘Lost Forms’ to life.
