Michèle Lamy curated and hosted the launch of "Rust Never Sleeps," a Rick Owens Furniture presentation at Carpenters Workshop Gallery in London. The exhibition, held at Ladbroke Hall's Sunbeam Theatre, features metal furniture inspired by Brutalist architecture and themes of decay, with Lamy describing the show as a continuation of her decades-long creative partnership with Owens.
The exhibition matters because it blurs boundaries between fashion, furniture, and performance, reflecting Lamy and Owens's integrated approach to art and life. Lamy's role as curator and her commentary on rust as a metaphor for resistance and time highlight how design can engage with broader cultural and existential themes, while the event's ritualistic, immersive nature challenges traditional exhibition formats.
