Parsons & Charlesworth is an experimental and speculative design studio founded in 2014 by Tim Parsons and Jessica Charlesworth. After running independent practices they joined forces to pursue projects that explore the rhetorical and narrative opportunities of designed objects.
Spectacular Vernacular, the design duo's first major solo show, describes the way our work mixes our craft and industrial design backgrounds with influences from fiction, science and the arts, to explore the rhetorical, as well as the practical opportunities of designed objects. In doing so, it attempts to show a diversity of approaches to three-dimensional design and demonstrate the value of independent design practice as an essential adjunct to the corporate design world. As a result, in addition to objects and editions, the exhibition showcases many self-initiated and speculative projects that encourage reflection upon topical issues such as climate change, survival or rituals of mourning.
