BEFORE, AFTER & BEYOND was published to accompany Martino Gamper's show of the same name held at the 11 Mansfield Street gallery in London in 2024.
Before, After & Beyond is Gampers first full London retrospective since his seminal '100 Chairs in 100 Days' in 2007.
The show (and the book) showcase the many different aspects of his design and craftsmanship and highlight Gamper's use of design to create interaction. It details the full transformation of a London house, utilising the full range of Gamper's practice from early one-off experiments to museum projects and industrial products. The installation explores the domesticity of Gamper's work, as well as the processes of assembling, reflecting his motivation to connect people and his interest in the social dimension of furniture.
