Michael Craig-Martin at Chatsworth

The Duke and Duchess of Devonshire have commissioned Michael Craig-Martin for a major installation at their home Chatsworth House in Derbyshire. In the grounds the artist has installed twelve sculptures, giant versions of common objects in his distinctive style, including high heels, garden gates, light bulbs and umbrellas. Inside the house, he has selected highlights from the Devonshire's magnificent collection of art. The family have a long tradition of displaying contemporary artists and this exhibition runs from 16 March until 29 June.

We worked with Michael Craig-Martin to adapt the high heels and gate sculptures to create designs for bone china mugs. The high heels were also used on two pure silk scarves. All items are available from the shop at Chatsworth.
