THEME

The 2007 theme seeks to inspire the creation and artistic development of contemporary Furniture, Lighting and Furnishings! That’s right, Fringe Furniture is broadening its scope in a material world.

Ideas for exhibits should ideally be drawn from the variety of example ideas below. Awards this year will focus on the best in show, best work addressing the theme, best use of sustainable materials and a few other categories yet to be devised…so think and materialise!

To help get your ideas flowing consider our take on what the theme Material\ism can be:

· Preoccupation with or emphasis on material objects, comforts, and considerations, with a disinterest in or rejection of spiritual, intellectual, or cultural values

· The philosophical theory that regards matter and its motions as constituting the universe, and all phenomena, including those of mind, as due to material agencies

· The substance or substances of which a thing is made or composed

· Anything that serves as crude or raw matter to be used or developed

· Any constituent element

· A textile fabric

· A group of ideas, facts, data, etc., that may provide the basis for or be incorporated into some integrated work

· Materials, the articles or apparatus needed to make or do something

· Formed or consisting of matter; physical; corporeal: the material world
