Elemental Resonance – Nature Reimagined at Mandarin Oriental Mayfair

Coinciding with PAD and Frieze week Vessel Gallery is participating with a selection from their roster of exceptional artists for two exclusively curated exhibitions by Mayfair Design District

Elemental Resonance – Nature Reimagined at Mandarin Oriental Mayfair | Ends 26/01/26

Mandarin Oriental’s latest exhibition explores the timeless power of the four classical elements – earth, water, air and fire – reimagined through contemporary design and sculpture. Each piece draws inspiration from these forces, inviting guests to reflect on our connection with the natural world and to view the environment through a renewed creative lens. Artists on show Cathryn Shilling, Bertil Vallien, Nicholas Arroyave-Portela and Nina Casson McGarva.

Ends 26/01/26

Art of Stillness at Savoir Beds | Ends 31/10/25

Coinciding with PAD and Frieze week Vessel Gallery is participating with a selection from their roster of exceptional artists for two exclusively curated exhibitions by Mayfair Design District

Art of Stillness at Savoir Beds | Ends 31/10/25

Hosted in Savoir Bed’s elegant Mayfair showroom, this exhibition explores the question: What does it mean to design for stillness? In a culture of acceleration, stillness becomes an act of resistance and refinement. Through the lens of craft, stillness is not only rest, but ritual. Not only silence, but presence. On display are works that embody material intelligence combined with quiet mastery. Featuring Louis Thompson, Enemark & Thompson and Kate Jones.

You’ll be part of a small, collaborative team producing Molten 1090’s collections, commissions, and classes. The role involves hands-on glassblowing and coldworking, overseeing daily studio operations, and supporting a safe, organised, and creative workspace.

We’re after someone who’s technically skilled, methodical, and curious – with an eye for detail and a genuine passion for the craft. Experience managing workflow, ordering materials, or teaching in a studio environment would be a big plus.

📍 Stoke Newington, London

If you’d like to join a small team where materials, process, and people are valued equally, we’d love to hear from you. Email us at: team@molten1090.com
