A brainchild of interior design studio, 2LG Studio, the first installation of “You can sit with us” launched last year during London Design Fair, showcasing new talented designers and providing a platform that celebrates inclusivity, identity and creativity.

Born from the challenges 2LG studio faced breaking into the design industry, this exhibition addresses a universal experience in the art/design world; the sense of exclusion and the quest for validation.
Within the design industry, it’s undeniable that anyone can feel like an outsider, sensing there is no seat for them at the proverbial table. Artists frequently question their work and their identity, oftencomparing themselves to others.
“As a new gallery in London, we sometimes grapple with doubts about our approach and whether people will believe in us. We can be our own harshest critics.” – Harry Raikes (Haricot co-founder)

This exhibition serves as a rebuttal to that mindset. It asserts that there is a seat for everyone.
Open to public during London Design Fair until 21.09.2024.
Address: 2 Blackall Street, London, EC2A 4AD, nearest Tube station: Old Street
