The Wish List goes to Barcelona

16 December 2014


The Wish List, a selection of timber pieces commissioned by well-known designers and architects for this year’s London Design Festival, is now being exhibited in Barcelona.

A collaboration between the American Hardwood Export Council (AHEC) and Benchmark Furniture, the Wish List features wooden items commissioned by names including Terence Conran, Richard Rogers, Normal Foster, Zaha Hadid and Paul Smith and made by up and coming designers.

Seven of the works are now on display at Barcelona’s new design museum, Disseny Hub, as part of the city’s Design Market event.

“We’re delighted to have been invited to bring the Wish List for one of the first events in the new building,” said AHEC European director David Venables. “This project has captured the imagination of the design media around the world, not just the UK.”
