Versa, meaning to be ‘turned’ or ‘changed’ in Latin, is a collaborative series of installations using end-of-life materials. The exhibition showcases a collection of unique furniture and architectural elements, made by Fereday and White respectively, tailored to the three spaces of the Meat Market Stables across an impressive 400sqm.
Developed through a process of independent collaboration, Fereday and White have sought to create a series of works that explore the turning of end-of-life materials and the challenging of their perceived value.
With a self-imposed constraint to make only one design gesture each per room, works have been conceived as the transformation of a material into an interior element – seat, table, light, roof, wall & floor – and then designed to express a sensory quality – dark, light, soft, warm, sharp and hard.
The complementary contrasts of the two designers’ works in each room serve to create singularly harmonious spaces, an ode to the power of collaboration.
