Nude Generation Exhibit
The first exhibit that caught my attention at the FHV 2023 was the “Nude” exhibit (amazing branding indeed). This unique exhibit featured the work of design students from all over the world, who were tasked with creating innovative pieces using natural materials such as wood, stone, and leather. The designs were beautiful and had an organic feel and dynamic shapes that gave a glimpse into the future of sustainable design. The Nude exhibit showcased the talents of the next generation of designers and their emphasis on creating products that are environmentally friendly and aesthetically pleasing. Hotel owners, organizations, architects, and designers who are looking to add design-forward, eco-friendly products to their properties, should take note of the designs and designers showcased in the Nude exhibit.
