Colony celebrates its 10th anniversary with the exhibition 'The Independents', showcasing 24 design studios reflecting on independence in design.
The exhibition serves as a retrospective and manifesto, emphasizing that independence in design is both an aesthetic preference and a philosophical stance.
Colony's cooperative model has evolved into an incubator, supporting emerging studios like Ember Studio, Thomas Yang Studio, and Studio BC Joshua.
Materiality is a central theme, with designers like Hiroko Takeda and Moving Mountains exploring new avenues in their work showcased at the exhibition.
