Displacement, Disruption, Distinction
An Exhibition of Work by Gregor Lersch
Innovative craftsmanship and a remarkable breadth of botanical knowledge come together throughout this collection.
In the designs shown here, Gregor thoughtfully interprets three overarching concepts: displaced focal areas, sustainability and personal style.
The results are not only visually exciting, but they also invite us to look more closely at our own design decisions.
