The Royal College of Art: Tender Revolution

Tender Revolution brings together designers, artists, and makers from the Royal College of Art in an exhibition at Brompton Design District for London Design Festival. Responding to the curatorial theme A Softer World, the showcase spans furniture, textiles, and objects, presenting design as an act of care, connection, and renewal. Foregrounding attentiveness and transformation, the participating designers challenge rigid systems that suppress complexity and erase stories beyond binaries. Instead, they embrace contradiction, vulnerability, and embodied experience as powerful sites of renewal, inviting visitors to reimagine the role of design in shaping more caring futures.
