Abalon, Ana Bridgewater is a Designer and sculptor working with porcelain since 2004, founded in London in 2015, gaining international recognition for sustainable design. The designs have been featured in The Independent, The Guardian, Elle Decoration, and You Magazine and include collaborations with The National Trust, Petersham Nurseries, and The Spanish Embassy. Abalon prioritises local materials, a no–plastic policy, and minimal waste since it's foundation. The latest biophilic lighting sculptures, made from Corallo porcelain, blend nature and light to enhance well–being.

The exhibition showcases an innovative exploration of bio Corallo, a newly developed, 3D—printable material. As a fusion of sustainability, light, and oceanic inspiration, the installation reflects a deep connection to the sea and a commitment to responsible design. Organic forms and luminous elements come together to evoke both beauty and harmony, inviting viewers to experience a balance between nature and technology. This work represents a personal evolution in material innovation, pushing the boundaries of sustainable craftsmanship and artistic expression.

Graduate designer Anke Neumann makes handmade paper glow in an unusual way. In her workshop, she makes large–format papers, incorporating light–conducting fibres. Similar to veins, these run through the paper surface and also form a kind of framework that contributes to the stability of the form. LED light is guided through the fibres and emitted laterally outwards in the paper layer. Together with the material aesthetics and design language, the light papers combine sculpture, luminaire and unique piece. They are not just objects that attract a lot of attention due to their shape. They are capable of enchanting a room, bathing it in poetic light.
