From today, the 15th, until 20th March, Somerset House in London will be hosting the Joy of Living exhibition, a charity project that unites over 100 leading lights of the design community in support of Maggie’s Cancer Caring Centres. Design author Max Fraser has challenged a cross-section of new and established designers from across the UK to create artworks that express the Joy of Living – all on a simple sheet of A4 graph paper.

The signed works will be exhibited and on sale with the project hoping to raise £50,000 for Maggie’s, a charity that helps people to build a life beyond cancer. A stellar list of UK design talent including: Terence Conran, Tom Dixon, Barber Osgerby, Sebastian Bergne, John Pawson, Tomoko Azumi, Daniel Eatock, Fredrikson Stallard, Martino Gamper, Rob Ryan, Stuart Haygarth, Michael Marriott, Max Lamb, and Troika have already answered the call, and their unique artworks will be on show. However, each piece will be priced equally, whether household name or rising star, and to make things interesting the designer will not be revealed until the piece is purchased.

All artworks are available to view online here, so get along, enjoy some brilliant art and support a great cause…
