In the expansive atrium of the Design Centre, Chelsea Harbour, where design’s future is constantly being reimagined, Brigitta Spinocchia Freund has carved out a reverent, radical sanctuary. Her contribution to WOW!house 2025, The Curator’s Room, is a feminist manifesto mapped in mohair, cast in bronze, embroidered in gold thread and whispered between brushstrokes.
Unveiled on June 3 and open to the public through July 3, The Curator’s Room is a love letter to women artists and designers – both celebrated and overlooked. It’s a space where the names forgotten by art history books are etched into the fibres of bespoke rugs, and where emerging talents like Sarabande prodigy Darcey Fleming sit comfortably beside mid-century legends like Charlotte Perriand and Gabriella Crespi. The room pulses with a layered, soulful energy – both sanctuary and studio, both museum and manifesto.
