Six Dots Design's fantasy at the London Design Festival is A Folly Through the Trees

UK-based Six Dots Design studio joins the London Design Festival 2025 with A Folly Through The Trees, an immersive show of sculptures and objects designed to pull the viewers out of their uncanny lives and into a real fantasy. From September 17 – 21, 2025, the showcase takes the stage at Six Dots Workshop Gallery, 30 Hancock Road, London.

The design studio relays how the environment we live in today "is increasingly untethered. Good is presented as evil, and evil as good; lawless leaders prevail, and uncanny fake realities surround us. The future is uncertain, the present is troubled, and the past is not what we once believed. How do we create a foundation for our existence without a pillar to lean on?"

The digital and the real are becoming increasingly blurred. The work in the design installation seeks to offer an escape from our untethered reality into a tangible fantasy. It is a rejection of the unreal, grounded instead in purely human, authentic fantasy.

At the design festival this year, A Folly Through The Trees is conceived as a diorama: a landscape constructed from sculptural design and functional objects. A broken fence, a standing tree, and a folly in a clearing are just a few of the elements used to create an abstraction of the artist's own imagined perfect place.
