CONCEPT:
In between exhibitions, Mission curated a discerning and intriguing series of selling displays under the banner 'A Miscellany of Objects'.
From current ideas on furniture and ceramics to cutting-edge textiles and accessories, the objects reflected Mission’s remit to celebrate design that nurtures the senses and has a timeless appeal.
“Welcomed by specialist media as an important showcase for the wealth of Britain’s current design talent, this two-storey selling gallery is one of the most exciting new ventures to open in London… Mission offers specialised exhibitions and an impressive range of desirables to buy.” JOYCE MAGAZINE (Hong Kong)
