WORDS Tracy Greenwood
Designs by international artists and galleries from all over the globe will be at this year’s GUILD international design fair.
The second instalment of GUILD promises to be bigger and better than ever. Highlights of this year’s fair include a custom-made pavilion by Stefan Antoni Associates, guided tours by fair director Trevyn McGowan and ‘Afreaks’, and a collaboration between LA-based Haas Brothers, Monkeybiz and Bronze Age Foundry, which consists of oversized animal forms with fun celebrity-inspired names such as Tail-lor Swift and Al Gor-illa. Find out more about this year’s exciting collaborations right here.
