Taking visitors from the design studios in Mallorca to high-tech mass production facilities in the Far East, and on to shop floors across the globe, Life on Foot explores the design, manufacturing and history of this independent family-run business whose products are purchased in their millions worldwide. The exhibition includes: exclusive behind-the-scenes material from the development of Camper’s SS15 and AW15 collections; recreations of retail spaces designed by Marti Guixé, Nendo, Jaimie Hayon, Tomas Alonso, Bouroullec Brothers, Campana Bothers, Tokujin Yoshioka, Kengo Kuma, Shigeru Ban, Fernando Amat and Doshi Levien; shoe collaborations by Hella Jongerius, Jasper Morrison, Bernhard Willhelm and Gosha Rubchinskiy; interviews with company founder Lorenzo Fluxà and Creative Director Romain Kremer; as well as previously unseen material from the company’s extensive archives. Life on Foot showcases Camper’s traditional shoemaking skills and contemporary design practice, bringing together sketched concepts, prototype products, as-yet-unreleased pieces and examples of the their non-conformist, often humorous approach to advertising. The exhibition also looks at the company’s history, which started in 1877 when Antonio Fluxà set sail for England to investigate new methods of industrial manufacturing. The final section of the Life on Foot looks to the potential future of walking; interrogating the ways in which technological and sociological developments might change the pedestrian experience. #lifeonfoot http://designmuseum.org/exhibitions/future-exhibitions/life-on-foot
