Tabatha Pearce Chedier / @tabathapearce

A series where we check in with our contributing designers, from our 2024 Exhibit with Kindred / @kindred_ldn

Tabatha Pearce Chedier (1995) is a Brazilian-British Designer based in the UK, working across product and furniture. She earned her degree in Product and Furniture Design from Kingston School of Art in 2020. Within her work, she delves into her dual heritage and cultural ties, employing a charismatic, process oriented approach. Tabatha draws inspiration from a diverse mix of traditions, demonstrating a consideration of materials and manufacturing in her exploration of ideas.

In 2024, she was nominated for the Design Museum’s Ralph Saltzman Prize by Jasper Morrison.

Tabatha is an independent designer, whilst also being a contributing member of the Design Everything team.

What have you been up to since the exhibit?

Since the show, I became a contributing member of Design Everything and moved to Bristol to create more time to focus on my own projects. Most recently, we then ran our second dE exhibition during Shoreditch Design Triangle, which was incredibly exciting and received an overwhelming response. At the same time, I exhibited my Modo container at the Das Programm CDRA exhibition @das_programmagram, it was wonderful to be showing alongside designers who have inspired me greatly!

Your thoughts on how being part of the exhibit impacted you or your practice.

For me, the exhibit was a starting point for building my creative community and developing my individual practice. What resonated most was taking part in something that championed emerging designers, which ultimately inspired me to join the Design Everything team!

What’s next, anything new to share?

I am taking part in a group show called ‘Proof of Concept’ @proofofconcept.show at the Aram gallery @aramgalleryldn . Running from the 6th of March until the 18th of April. Check it out! It’s on the theme of moulds and it has such a great variety of techniques exploring this process.

London Kitchen

We designed minimal forms for our unlacquered brass handles - their character will emerge through their use.

Well balanced with the solid cherry wood joints made by @dlimstudio.

As we reflect on our journey since February from Hong Kong to London and back, we are filled with gratitude for the incredible experiences we’ve shared. It has been a privilege to showcase contemporary lacquer art and highlight its rich diversity in these two vibrant cities.

We are especially thankful to the collectors, museum curators, organizers, business acquaintances, friends, and supporters who enabled us or joined us at these major events such as the Collect Art Fair in London @collectartfair and Art Central @artcentralhk in Hong Kong. Your enthusiasm has been vital in helping us to encourage the innovation and evolution of this ancient craft.

We appreciate each artist who contributed their unique vision, helping us reveal the new phase of development in contemporary lacquer art. Your talent and creativity continue to inspire us. Together, let us maintain the momentum we’ve built and carry forward the appreciation for this remarkable art form. Thank you once again for being an essential part of this journey.

May I introduce you to my thick boy, Iddu.

Two hammered sheets of aluminum shape and give body to the black stone, merging structure and texture in a bold contrast. Dm for inquiries 🧚‍♀️

Goodbye, 2024 - you’ve been so kind!

With the whirlwind of finishing the galleries before Christmas, diving into festivities, and enjoying the school holidays, I didn’t get a chance to properly thank all my wonderful 2024 couples and families. Words can’t fully express how grateful I am for your trust in my work and for giving me the opportunity to grow creatively.

Thank you for welcoming me into your homes, ceremonies, parties and letting me be part of your most treasured and special moments. To all my amazing 2024 couples, thank you - you have been truly wonderful!

WE MAKE

We make. To experiment, prototype, prove, materialise, manufacture, to know. To practice the hand, the eye, the technique, the ritual and the heart.

Admissions are now open for our highly regarded MA courses at Central Saint Martins, University of The Arts London. Our two-year Extended Full Time Courses combines set and self-directed projects that challenge and redefine design practice.

Final gallery flew off to Bridgette & Desmond 💌💘
And here is the reminder that the weddings can be unique - it’s not about the venues, or chasing the trends. It’s making it personal and special to you.
B & D had the most sweetest ceremony at their local registry office, followed by garden party at home. I remember nothing else but smiles of closest family and friends and it was honestly so so special. 💖

- Wedding Gifts -

Some of you may know that my partner @dlimstudio and I got married this summer. In the true spirit of the union of two makers, we have built and made a lot of things for the reception we had in our home.

I made 50 plates big and small for our guest to eat on and to take home as a little present to thank them for coming to celebrate our special day with us.

If you are planning a wedding and are interested in doing something similar, please reach out! Would love to hear your ideas.

Thank you @inspiredbyjulyphotography for such a lovely photo of our garden and table setting.

Who would’ve thought we’d be so extremely lucky with the weather last Saturday for Bridgette and Desmond’s garden wedding?! The cosiest of celebrations, hosted at their own home, surrounded by family and friends - it couldn’t have been more perfect. 💘
