Design-Nation Returns to Collect Art Fair 2026 with 25th Anniversary Presentation ‘Topophilia’

We’re delighted to announce that Design-Nation will be back at Collect Art Fair 2026, the leading international art fair for contemporary craft and design, exhibiting work from 14 of our members.

Our 25th Anniversary presentation, ‘Topophilia’, celebrates the profound emotional connection to place. Our artists embed a deep sense of location in their work, translating the physical and emotional landscapes of coastlines, city streets, domestic interiors, and distant vistas into compelling objects. Each piece reveals both technical mastery and poetic vision, inviting audiences to explore the stories, memories, and atmospheres that shape our world, and to experience the enduring power of craft to make the intangible tangible.

The 14 artists featured in 2026 are:

Kirsty Adams Ceramics

Cosmin Ciofirdel

Glenice Hoffmann
