Description: A new guard of designers is redefining what collectible means. This visual survey gathers emerging makers and global collectives trading luxury's polish for raw materiality, upcycling, and expressive form. Working beyond established gallery circuits with found and self-developed processes, they treat the object as a site of identity, authorship, and cultural expression. A map of one of design's most vital new movements, captured as it takes shape.
