'A London Design Exhibition Inspired by the Ancient Roman Festival Saturnalia'...

 

A new exhibition of work, “Io! Amata Benedict,” at the gallery 8 Holland Street in Kensington, west London, is influenced by the Roman winter festival, Saturnalia, and includes ceramic wine vessels (one for red, one white), a water fountain full of snakes and a glossy urn embossed with lions and rams, which is currently serving as a pot for a philodendron. “The work we do is playful,” says Thaysen. “It’s meant to start conversations.”
