Acclaimed artists and designers to showcase their work in a unique Brighton venue.
Design-Nation’s South Cluster Hub will exhibit their work at the Regency Town House this October, showcasing the best in contemporary design and art – in a beautiful Grade I listed period setting.
The exhibition will comprise a bold and striking collection of work by Design-Nation members from across the south of England, including ceramics, lighting, textiles, furniture, metalwork, enamel, jewellery, leather accessories and architectural drawings. Functional pieces, furniture and wearable art will sit alongside two dimensional, sculptural and abstract works, to create an intriguing presentation of exceptional contemporary art and making in 2025. Innovation, bold ideas, material skills and passion will be at the forefront of this inspiring show, and the artists will be on hand throughout to chat to visitors about their work.
The unique setting of the partially restored Regency Town House, built in the 1820s as part of Charles Busby’s Brunswick Estate, will provide a magnificent backdrop for the contemporary pieces.
All work will be for sale and visitors are welcome to discuss commission opportunities and bespoke projects, should they wish.

Clare Edwards, Director of Design-Nation said: “While Design-Nation is a significant national maker network, we have always worked locally as well, seeing the amazing value that our Cluster Hub Network gives to our members. We’re proud to support our southern cluster in their exciting venture at The Regency Town House, which is sure to be a stand-out event this autumn.”
The Regency Townhouse said “When the Regency Townhouse and its neighbours here in Brunswick Town were designed in the 1820s by Royal Academy gold medal-winning architect C. A. Busby, he drew buildings that were the height of style and fashion and embellished by the best craftspeople of the day. It is fitting, therefore, that The Regency Townhouse was chosen by Design-Nation as the venue for their exhibition this autumn, bringing together as it will, the work of talented contemporary designers and craftspeople from across the southern region.”
