Tbilisi Architecture Forum — Exhibition
The Georgian Product Designers Exhibition Foundation of Things
About Exhibition
As part of the Tbilisi Architecture Forum, from 18 to 20 September, Expo Georgia’s Pavilion 6 will host the largest exhibition of its kind, bringing together 25 Georgian product designers.
Find Pavilion 6The Foundation of Things
We often encounter works that inspire and fascinate us, yet the journey that brought them to their final form remains unseen — the initial idea, the research, exploration and experimentation behind it, and the intellectual and practical decisions that ultimately shaped the result.
The Foundation of Things focuses precisely on this process.
Here, “foundation” refers to much more than a physical support. It encompasses the knowledge, experience, materials, techniques, environment and personal vision upon which each work is created.
The exhibition invites us to see an object not simply as a finished form, but as the result of a chain of decisions — where it began, what changed along the way, and what ultimately remained in its final form.
In this way, The Foundation of Things brings together diverse design practices around one simple question:
What does an idea stand on before it becomes an object?
