The Parfitt Gallery is pleased to present Ian Anderson/Designers Republic-Come Home To Croydon, a 25th anniversary exhibition of the Designers Republic (TDR) by its founder, Ian Anderson. A prominent influence for this exhibition is 28 Zermatt Road, Anderson’s childhood home in Croydon. He said “I think I’m playing more with the notion of belonging and ownership, and voluntary slavery / allegiance to geographical opinion – expressed through the selfish mythologizing of the house that was, by chance, my first home.” After a 25th anniversary exhibition at GGG in Tokyo Ian Anderson is coming home to Croydon. This exhibition is a personal selection of some of the work that has influenced and changed the face of design since TDR’s incarnation in 1986, alongside some more surprising, less seen suggestions.
