Paper Mask auctioned at Joy of Living exhibition and charity auction for Maggie's Centres.

 

A mix of established and emerging designers have contributed one-off artworks that were auctioned anonymously for Joy of Living, an initiative raising money for Maggie's Centres.

​

The Joy of Living exhibition is organised by design writer Max Fraser, who first ran the event in 2011, and new collaborator Aynsley Munsie.

​

For 2017, the third instalment, the brief was to use three pieces of coloured paper from GF Smith's Colorplan range. The colours were randomly selected from a set of 12, and the designers could manipulate them in any manner they wanted.

The results range from sketches and colourful collages to a sculpture of a desk lamp and some shredded-paper homeware.
