LONDON DESIGN FESTIVAL 2025: 8 HOLLAND STREET X TIBOR: An exhibition at 8 Holland Street Flagship, St James's Park
8 Holland Street is excited to announce its upcoming exhibition part of London Design Festival 2025. 8 Holland Street x TIBOR: Modern Threads: Art of Living, 1950–1970 on view at our flagship gallery in St James’s Park, London, from 13 September to 21 September 2025.
For London Design Festival 2025 8 Holland Street and Tibor present a distinctive collection of Twentieth-century European and British design, weaving the bold innovation of post-war modernism with the refined warmth of artisanal craftsmanship. Spanning furniture, textiles, ceramics and art, the exhibition presents work by a generation of designers and artists, including: Tibor Reich (1916-1996), Guillerme et Chambron, Richard Smith (1931-2016) and Robyn Denny (1930-2014). They transformed everyday environments and their artist output into expressions of cultural optimism and creative freedom.
At the centre of the collection is the work of French duo Guillerme et Chambron; Robert Guillerme (1913–1990) and Jacques Chambron (1914–2001), whose sculptural oak furniture - both robust and refined - embodies the tactile appeal and democratic ideals of post-war design. Select pieces are upholstered with woven textiles of the pioneering Hungarian designer Tibor Reich.
Tibor introduced colour, texture and modernity to post-war British interiors. His fabrics were commissioned for projects such as; The Festival of Britain (1951), Concorde and Queen Elisabeth II Ship (QE2) and are featured in the archives of The Victoria and Albert Museum. Presented in this show are Tibor’s iconic “Madison” tapestries designed in the 1950s and recently re-woven at Tibor’s mill in Yorkshire, UK using wool and cotton. The tapestries are inspired by a photograph of Madison Avenue taken by Tibor. These are shown alongside ceramics from Vallauris, the French Riviera town that became a creative hotbed for avant-garde pottery in the 1950s.
These design elements are framed by the visual language of British abstraction, with artworks by Robyn Denny, Paul Feiler (1918 - 2013), and Ian Tyson (1933–2021). Denny’s hard-edged geometries, Feiler’s luminous spatial explorations, and Tyson’s typographic minimalism echo the same principles of structure, rhythm, and material clarity found in the collection on display. Together, these works articulate a unified vision of modern living—where art, design, and craft intersect to create a complete environment.
The exhibition runs at 8 Holland Street Flagship, St James’s Park, during London Design Festival 2025 from 13-21 September and continues until 15 November.
