Wonder Wood is the climax of a series of exhibitions in a year-long Wood Culture festival which has celebrated the beauty, usefulness and sustainability of wood and explored its many uses in contemporary architecture and design.
The exhibition draws on the work of 20 designers in wood across the South West region, from established makers to this year’s graduates, ranging from innovative steam-bent seating to a woven boat and a timber bicycle. Most work will be for sale.
