London, February 2026 – Saatchi Gallery presents Textile Art Redefined, an exhibition exploring the innovation and creativity of contemporary fine art textiles. Showcasing work by 15 visionary artists, from the UK and across the globe, the exhibition both celebrates the vibrancy of textile art today and expands its very definition.

Curated by Helen Adams and inspired by her book Fine Art Textiles, the show brings its pages to life in the Gallery. In an increasingly digital world, creating by hand has taken on a new appreciation. Visitors are invited to see how century old techniques including embroidery, quilting, weaving, knitting and crochet are used in textile art today.

Exhibition highlights include Ian Berry’s Secret Garden, a captivating installation crafted entirely from recycled denim. A site‑specific work by Magda Sayeg, the pioneer of yarn bombing, is at once playful and quietly poignant. 

Colour, texture, and materiality resonate throughout the exhibition. Kaffe Fassett showcases his signature vibrancy of bold colour and pattern expressed through knit and stitch. Kenny Nguyen presents an epic three metre silk work, unfolding in a rich spectrum of shades, while Benjamin Shine offers his serene tulle portraits, each meticulously shaped from a single piece of fabric.

These vivid works are a contrast to the calming intricate monochrome sculptures by Caroline Burgess and octogenarian artist Simone Pheulpin. Newly created works for the exhibition include two pieces by Signe Emdal, whose sensory woven forms celebrate the natural beauty and inherent fragility of fibre. Anne von Freyburg presents a richly textural work that reinterprets the spirit of Fragonard, and Deniz Kurdak’s stitched piece reimagines traditional blue and white chinoiserie.

Helen Adams, founder of Textile Curator, works exclusively within the field of textile art with the aim to ‘wake the world up to contemporary textile art’. Although the medium has not always occupied a prominent place in the public eye, artists have continued to push its boundaries with dedication and vision. This exhibition not only gives textile art a platform, it opens the dialogue of what textile art can be.

Full list of featured artists: Ian Berry, Caroline Burgess, Chiachio & Giannone, Signe Emdal, Kaffe Fassett, Anne von Freyburg, Sara Impey, Deniz Kurdak, Kenny Nguyen, Simone Pheulpin, Benjamin Shine, Jakkai Siributr, Cayce Zavaglia, Magda Sayeg.

London, February 2026 – Saatchi Gallery presents a solo exhibition of works by London-based British-Malaysian-Chinese artist Caroline Wong. Titled Girls Who Devour and open to the public with free entry in Gallery 2 (Ground Floor)  from 27 March to 6 May 2026, this exhibition brings together three interconnected bodies of Wong’s work: Cats and Girls, Hungry Women, and Picnics and Parties. Across pastel drawings and mixed-media paintings, Wong explores femininity, appetite, desire, and excess through scenes of convivial consumption and intimate female gathering.

The exhibition positions voracity as a feminist method. Wong’s women feast, drink, spill, and linger within feverish, highly saturated, sensorial environments, transforming acts of eating into gestures of female agency and pleasure. Appetite emerges as an aesthetic modality through which women reclaim bodily autonomy and resist historical expectations of restraint and delicacy, reversing their longstanding positioning as consumable objects. 

Yet this celebration of appetite is marked by tension. In Hungry Women, where imagery draws from mukbang livestream culture, eating becomes simultaneously pleasurable and performative – a spectacle shaped by the demands of visibility in the digital age. Acts of consumption oscillate between intimacy and exhibition, nourishment and labour, suggesting that eating can function as a means of survival within economies of attention and platform capitalism. The works therefore interrogate the ambivalent space between empowerment and objectification, agency and vulnerability.

Oscillating between exuberance and unease, these scenes evoke the complexities of desire and self-knowledge. Pleasure borders on loss of control, and indulgence becomes both liberating and vulnerable. The works foreground communal female spaces in which friendship, intimacy, and emotional nourishment converge through shared acts of consumption, unafraid of the gaze of others, suggesting a form of empowerment grounded in togetherness.

Across the exhibition, Wong’s tactile mark-making mirrors the immediacy of eating and touching. She produces sensorially evocative images that reinforce excess as a vital aesthetic modality woven into the very fabric of girlhood.

Anna Liber Lewis | Spectral Interference

Saatchi Gallery, Gallery 1, Ground Floor 27 March – 6 May 2026
Presented by Hannah Payne Art

Saatchi Gallery announces Spectral Interference, a major solo exhibition by London-based painter Anna Liber Lewis, presented by Hannah Payne Art, bringing together a new body of work that represents a rupture to her earlier grid-based works. The new works embrace abstraction as a site of risk, embodiment, and perceptual instability.

Across paintings of varying scale, Liber Lewis leaves behind the grid and their earlier line work. Structure is still present, not as a fixed system, but as a generative structure – that can be disrupted, softened, or pushed to breaking point. The new paintings have evolved through cycles of editing and return: surfaces are worked into, scraped back, reactivated, and at times deliberately destabilised. Old works are revisited and altered, reflecting a willingness to give up control in pursuit of something more alive.

Central to this new body of work is an interest in high-stakes painting – the ongoing tension between abstraction and figuration, structure and the body, control, and risk. Influenced by disparate artists such as Helen Frankenthaler and Carroll Dunham, Liber Lewis approaches abstraction as a physical, confronting act, where the mark carries memory, effort, and jeopardy. Gesture operates not as expressive excess but as a record of decision-making, endurance, and doubt.

Liber Lewis, comments: “This body of work comes from a place of risk and continual revision. Painting feels easier now, not because it’s resolved, but because I’m more willing to let go of control. I’m interested in how painting holds the body – how it changes, resists, and carries memory over time. The process depends on being both in control and out of control. It comes from repetition, and from a mental and physical agility: staying limber, warm, and ready for anything.”

Spectral Interference at Saatchi Gallery, brings together a significant group of new and recent works, including paintings such as Embodied Other, My GRB Afterglow, and Very Rare Picture of Earth II, alongside a number of large-scale canvases shown publicly for the first time. Presented at a pivotal moment in Liber Lewis’ career, this exhibition represents her most ambitious institutional presentation to date, following her recent inclusion in the group exhibition Unreal City: Abstract Painting in London at Saatchi Gallery (2024).

Anna Liber Lewis (b.1977) lives and works in London. She graduated with a BA from Central Saint Martins in 2001 and was the 2013 recipient of the Genesis Foundation Scholarship to study at the Royal College of Art, gaining an MFA in 2015.

Her first solo exhibition took place at Elephant West in 2019, commissioned by Elephant Magazine, and explored a call-and-response relationship between music and painting. This marked the beginning of an ongoing creative collaboration with Four Tet (Kieran Hebden), developed through long-term dialogue between sound and image and later realised through the project Muscle Memory and the EP Anna Painting.
This was followed by a second solo show at The Lightbox, Woking where she was asked to respond to a piece from the Ingram Collection; she chose a work by Eileen Agar. Group exhibitions include Landscape Portrait: Now and Then; Redressing the Balance: Women Artists from the Ingram Collection; WIP at Camden Arts Centre Studio.

Gesture and Being brings together new work from six recent graduates of Royal College of Art and the Slade School of Fine Art: Anna Curzon Price, Gala Hills, Katja Farin, Mia Wilkinson, Poppy Critchlow and Qian Zhong. All working within the realms of figurative painting, these artists use their practice to challenge inherited narratives and expectations ascribed to gender, the body and the self. Together, they champion a self-expression that is free and fluid, presenting figures that are unstable, performative, dreamlike, or defiantly unruly. 

These artists reflect on how our personal narratives are often in flux with our internal dialogues, external interactions and our environment. Exploring interior worlds – psychological, emotional or symbolic – as much as physical ones, they consider how we are seen, staged and felt within both private and public realms. Domestic interiors, mythical spaces, imagined utopias and everyday moments become sites where tension and connection coexist, and where the body becomes an active, renewed force.  

Despite the playful and vivid use of colour, undertones are often unsettling. These paintings are layered with complex feeling, exploring themes of anxiety, vulnerability and discomfort. The environments presented here are both tender and confrontational, humorous and uneasy, where representation is not fixed but continually negotiated, and where the figure emerges as something porous, potent, and profoundly alive.

Good Eye Projects returns to Saatchi Gallery with a group exhibition of artists from their Autumn 2024, Spring 2025, and Summer 2025 residency iterations. 

Artists for GEP’s Summer and Autumn residencies are selected via a free-to-enter Open Call process, moderated by a panel of art-world insiders. The Spring iteration features selected artists as part of GEP’s gallery collaboration initiative, with artists previously invited on behalf of Pipeline, Soup, Sherbet Green, Night Café, Neven Gallery, San Mei and Iris Projects.

Good Eye Projects 2026 at Saatchi Gallery will feature works by participating residency artists: 

Autumn 2024: DaddyBears, Lily Bunney, Harriet Gillett, Freya Fang Wang, Derrelle Elijah, Amelie Peace

Spring 2025: Mark Burch, Sofia Clausse, Roudhah Al Mazrouei, Sonya Derviz, Parham Ghalamdar, Amelie Mckee

Summer 2025: Rachel Mortlock, Leon Scott-Engel, Xinyu Han, Elleanna Chapman, Lulu Wang, Lau Yee Vanessa Fong

Since launching, GEP has supported 60 artists, and has presented off-site collaborations with Christie’s, Collective Ending HQ and Saatchi Gallery. In 2025, GEP introduced its Project Partners Program that welcomed patrons Tom Leahy and Gigi Surel to the GEP team, alongside Reece Jones joining the Selection Panel.

Good Eye Projects Artistic Director: Anna Woodward (Artist & Organiser)

Good Eye Projects Business Development Director: Scott Franklin (Art Collector & Founder of Property Guardian Protection LTD)

Good Eye Projects Selection Panel: Hector Campbell (Co-Founder & Director, Soup Gallery); Marie-Claire Thijsen (Head of Sale & Specialist, Post-War & Contemporary Art, Christie’s); Reece Jones (Artist and Mentor)

“The residency at Good Eye Projects enabled me to develop large scale ambitious work supporting me with a dedicated studio space accessible 24/7 for a total of four months. I really enjoyed the studio visits they organised with gallerists, curators and collectors: this pushed me to further professionalize my practice and reflect on my process. I now feel part of a wider network as they actively expand and collaborate with different institutions and would highly recommend applying for the programme.”

– Amelie Mckee, Spring 2025 Resident placed on GEP partnership with Sherbet Green Gallery

“Alongside the generous studio spaces and regular studio visits, the studio community at Good Eye Projects was a real highlight for me during the residency. It felt like stepping back into a similar studio environment to that of art school, where you’re surrounded by other artists all supporting one another and helping push each other’s ideas forward. As artists we spend a lot of time working on our own, so stepping back into a more communal environment felt like an injection of new energy, giving each other regular feedback and learning from the varied practices. I felt this helped push the work I wanted to make when entering the residency forward in new directions, and has given me lots to think about moving forward. Having now left the residency, I still feel this community is very present, with all the artists remaining in touch across different residency cohorts, and being invited to engage within various events/trips on the current residency too.”

– Leon Engel-Scott, Summer 2025 Resident

PEUGEOT, in collaboration with Saatchi Gallery, is delighted to announce DYSPLA as the overall winner of the inaugural Artist of the Future Prize 2025 – a new award celebrating innovation in digital art across the UK and Europe.

Selected from more than 1,000 entries and ten outstanding finalists, DYSPLA has been awarded the title Artist of the Future 2025, receiving a prize valued at £10,000 – comprising £5,000 in cash and a £5,000 media package designed to elevate their artistic profile.

Their winning project, DYSPLA_disabled (2024), is a modular collection of 11 sociological digital sculptures and poems created in collaboration with disabled communities across England. Developed during a residency at Arbeit Studios, the work employs structured-light 3D scanning to construct intimate digital vignettes of disabled bodies and lived experiences.

DYSPLA explores the expressive potential created by the technological limits of structured-light scanning. As each sculpture rotates and accompanying poems are read, fractures and gaps created by the scanning process become sites of heightened beauty and meaning. These shards of structured light capture and reveal what is often unseen:

“The disabled experience predominantly means you are acutely aware of the intricacies of one’s body; the experience is internally loud, externally shunned. Holistic presentation is an essential component to artistically expressing the disabled experience, and innovative technologies expand and elucidate the unseen and previously hidden.”

The work was selected for its strength of storytelling and its breakthrough approach to digital sculpture, redefining how digital technologies can be used to capture, interpret, and expand lived experience.

With Innovation as its central theme, the Artist of the Future Prize 2025 honours artists who push the boundaries of creativity, harness technology in new ways, and invite audiences to experience digital art through fresh perspectives.

For PEUGEOT, innovation defines its commitment to pioneering electric mobility and visionary design. For Saatchi Gallery, it reflects the mission to support artists who challenge convention and expand how we think about art and society.

The 2025 shortlist featured exceptional artists working at the forefront of contemporary digital practice:

• Edd Carr
• Filip Haglund
• Sally Smoker
• Lenar Singatullov
• Patchworks Collective – Charlotte Foster, Rehan Moazzam Khan, Yujia Cai, Karstin Naes & Matthew Chan
• AMIANGELIKA
• James David Freeman
• Isolda Milenkovic
• DYSPLA
• Lucy Ellis

The works were selected by a distinguished judging panel spanning the worlds of art, culture and design: Matthias Hossann, Design Director, PEUGEOT; Dominic Harris, British Artist; Darren Styles OBE, Publisher of Attitude Magazine and Rolling Stone UK; Paul Foster, Director, Saatchi Gallery; and Katherine Benson, Exhibition Programming Manager, Saatchi Gallery.

The Artist of the Future Prize 2025 exhibition is open from 25 November 2025 – 11 January 2026 and is free to enter for all visitors. Coinciding with the Gallery’s 40th anniversary celebrations, it also highlights PEUGEOT’s role as Principal Patron.

LONDON, UK – Vogue Ukraine, in partnership with the global platform PhotoVogue, presents FUTURESPECTIVE, an exhibition created to support and promote Ukrainian artists on the international stage. It will be held at the Saatchi Gallery in London and will bring together the works of 34 contemporary authors representing the new generation of Ukrainian photography.

The exhibition features works in various genres and formats, including documentary and art photography, still life, landscape, and collage. The projects explore themes of youth, life, and hope during war, as well as identity and memory. The artists work at the intersection of personal and collective experience, and their works address intimate themes — family, emotions, self-discovery — and become part of a broader dialogue about the meaning of life and the human experience of war. Together, they form a visual portrait of a generation that speaks to the viewer with sensitivity and power.

Featured artists: Vladyslav Andrievsky, Vic Bakin, Lesha Berezovskiy, Mishka Bochkaryov, Ania Brudna, Alex Blanco, Nazar Furyk, Egor Guschin, Artem Humilevskyi, Vadym Ivchenko, Yourko Kalichack, Ksenia Kargina, Daniil Kotliar, Sasha Kurmaz, Ira Lupu, Dom Marker, Mykola Maychyk, Yegor Parker, Anatoliy Petchenko, Kristina Podobed, Oleksiy, Ponomaryov, Alina Prisich, Julie Poly, Viacheslav Poliakov, Irina Shkoda, Elena Subach, Synchrodogs, Daria Svertilova, Anya Tsaruk, Daniel Vaysberg, Vasylyna Vrublevska, Yan Wasiuchnik, Stephan Lisowski, Volodymyr Kaminetsky.

• From 22 November 2025, Saatchi Gallery will present the highly anticipated second edition of Standing on the Shoulders of Giants, featuring 10 contemporary Dutch female artists in collaboration with the V&A.
• Ground-breaking partnership with the V&A sees contemporary Dutch artists responding to works by female creators from the museum’s historic collection.
• Following the success of the first edition, which ran from March to May 2024, this expanded exhibition includes a deeper exploration of female artistic heritage.

LONDON, UK – Saatchi Gallery, in collaboration with artist-curator Louise te Poele, V&A, SMAG Foundation, the Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands to the United Kingdom and with the support of the Mondriaan Fund, is proud to present Standing on the Shoulders of Giants II: A Unique Dialogue Between Past and Present.

Research by the Guerrilla Girls revealed that less than 5% of artists in museums are women, while 85% of depicted nudes are female. Standing on the Shoulders of Giants II directly confronts this inequality by elevating female voices and creating new narratives.

Building on the immense success of the first edition, which highlighted the urgent need to increase visibility for female Dutch artists, this second iteration tackles a related challenge: the historical invisibility of female artists in museum collections. The exhibition examines whose shoulders contemporary artists stand on in this country, fostering a powerful dialogue between the past and present.

Both contemporary and historical female artists have long faced limited visibility. The V&A collection has a strength in works created by women and shares a dedication to addressing historical underrepresentation, making the collaboration particularly meaningful, as both institutions aim to elevate female voices across the centuries. 

This unique exhibition showcases an unprecedented collaboration between Saatchi Gallery and the V&A. Working alongside Dr Rosalind McKever (Curator) and Damiët Schneeweisz (Assistant Curator) of Paintings and Drawings at the V&A, Louise te Poele and the artists have selected from the V&A’s collection of paintings and drawings by women.

Each of the 10 Dutch female artists responded to a carefully selected piece from the V&A collection, creating influential new works that foster visual dialogues with female creators who preceded them. By visiting the V&A archives, the artists immersed themselves in the museum’s collection, enabling their chosen historical works to inform their contemporary responses through deep engagement. 

Damiët Schneeweisz, Assistant Curator of Paintings and Drawings at the V&A states: “It’s been wonderful seeing the V&A’s mission as a creative sourcebook for makers in action, and to witness the dialogues emerging between our historic works on paper collections, which are rich in women artists, and the work of present-day artists.”

Louise te Poele, Artist-Curator reflects: “There’s something deeply moving about how my fellow female artists respond to the voices of women before them — echoing, challenging, and continuing their legacy in ways that feel both intimate and radical.”

Featured Artists

The exhibition showcases 10 contemporary Dutch female artists, spanning multiple generations and mediums.

Painting: Lily de Bont (1958), Anya Janssen (1962), Bobbi Essers (2000)

Sculpture: Femmy Otten (1981), Bregje Sliepenbeek (1986), Margriet van Breevoort (1990), Larissa Esvelt (1998)

Digital sculpture and object design: Audrey Large (1994)

Photography and installation: Louise te Poele (1984)

Expanded Programming with the V&A

During the exhibition run, the V&A will present a programme of talks and tours designed to deepen engagement with the themes of female artistic heritage. It aims to create ongoing dialogue between the exhibitions at both venues and offer the audience multiple entry points into understanding the complex narratives of female artistic expression across centuries.  

Exhibition Partners

The project represents a collaboration between Saatchi Gallery, SMAG Foundation (Louise te Poele and Hanna ter Meulen), the Victoria and Albert Museum, and the Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands to the United Kingdom, which has offered invaluable support in realising the show’s production and facilitating the Artists’ visits to the archives. 

Alongside our primary partners, the Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands to the United Kingdom and Sorba Projects, we wish to thank them and our other funding partners for their invaluable support. 

Documentary Component

A short behind-the-scenes documentary will capture the creative process, demonstrating how new work has been created in response to historical pieces, adding depth and context to the exhibition experience.

SAATCHI GALLERY TO PRESENT THE LONG NOW, AN EXHIBITION EXPLORING THEMES PREVALENT IN 40 YEARS OF CONTEMPORARY ART

• Richard Wilson’s seminal installation, 20:50, a defining piece of British contemporary art, returns to Saatchi Gallery – presented for the first time on the top floor in a dramatic and disorienting new setting.
• Jenny Saville’s monumental painting Passage (2004) powerfully embodies her vision to “be a painter of modern life, and modern bodies.”
• The Long Now celebrates 40 years of Saatchi Gallery, uniting landmark works and bold new commissions that affirm its enduring influence on contemporary culture.

LONDON, UK (September 2025) – Celebrating four decades of ground-breaking contemporary art, Saatchi Gallery will open landmark exhibition, The Long Now on 5 November 2025, supported by De Beers London. This expansive group show will showcase new works by iconic artists closely associated with the Gallery’s dynamic history, alongside fresh voices from a new generation.

Spanning two floors and nine major exhibition spaces, the exhibition will feature special commissions, installations, painting and sculpture. It will also include Richard Wilson’s seminal installation, 20:50, a defining piece of British contemporary art originally presented in 1987.

Curated by Philippa Adams (Senior Director, Saatchi Gallery 1999- 2020), the exhibition will reflect on key themes that have underpinned exhibitions throughout Saatchi Gallery’s 40-year journey, an ongoing commitment to championing new talent.

The Long Now takes its title from a concept focused on fostering long-term thinking. It challenges today’s throwaway culture. The exhibition arches back to past exhibitions consistent with Saatchi Gallery’s focus on the present, to give artists the opportunity to showcase their most ambitious ideas. Showcasing newly created works alongside a selection of historic works, as unquestionably impactful and relevant today.

Since its inception, Saatchi Gallery has stood at the forefront of contemporary art, sparking cultural conversations, and inspiring millions. As a registered charity since 2019, it continues to champion emerging voices and bring creativity to the widest possible audience.

The exhibition begins with a focus on process and mark-making in the physical, a fundamental human gesture. That drive to leave or weave an imprint reverberates today through contemporary practices by artists such as Alice Anderson, Rannva Kunoy, and Carolina Mazzolari, who reinterpret this language in materially inventive ways.

Artists including Tim Noble, André Butzer, Dan Colen, Jake Chapman and Polly Morgan exemplify this same spirit of risk and innovation, pushing the limits of subject, style, and scale.

At the centre of this energy stands Jenny Saville’s powerful painting Passage, 2004, a work that holds both strength and beauty, and paradigmatically realises the artist’s ambition to “be a painter of modern life, and modern bodies” (Saville, quoted in Rachel Cooke, The Observer, 9 June 2012).

Alongside, painting remains a medium central to the Gallery’s programme since its inception. Works by Alex Katz, Michael Raedecker, Ansel Krut, Martine Poppe and Jo Dennis demonstrate its ongoing adaptability and versatility. Emerging voices are woven throughout the exhibition, reflecting Saatchi Gallery’s commitment to championing new talent and their power to shift perspectives within longstanding conversations in art.

This tension between provocation and engagement continues in two large-scale installations that invite viewers into physical and conceptual interaction: Allan Kaprow’s YARD, with its chaotic arrangement of car tyres, encourages movement and participation, while, suspended above hangs Conrad Shawcross’s Golden Lotus (Inverted), a vintage Lotus car reimagined as a kinetic sculpture, first presented at the Gallery for the 2019 exhibition, Sweet Harmony: Rave Today. Together, they prompt reflection on transformation, agency and the viewer’s role in completing the work.

The exhibition also considers our complex relationship with new tools in technology, an unknown future landscape, utopian ideas, a new conception of home.  Artists including Chino Moya and Mat Collishaw reflect on surveillance, automation and the ethics of artificial intelligence, reflecting on how deeply the digital permeates contemporary society.

Interwoven with The Long Now is a meditation on fragility and climate change with Gavin Turk’s Bardo. Its fragmented panels of glass evokes a reflection on cultural decay and the precarious balance between permanence and collapse. Light artists bring contemplation with Olafur Eliasson, Chris Levine and Frankie Boyle.

While broader reflections on the impact of industry on environment surface in works by Edward Burtynsky, Steven Parrino, Peter Buggenhout, Ibrahim Mahama, Ximena Garrido-Lecca and Christopher Le Brun, who address extraction, waste and renewal through a range of mediums and perspectives.

Concluding the exhibition, Richard Wilson’s 20:50 takes on renewed significance in the context of today’s climate crisis. A defining work in Saatchi Gallery’s history, this installation has been shown at each of the Gallery’s three locations – Boundary Road (1991), County Hall (2003), and most recently in the basement of the Duke of York’s HQ (2015). Now, for the first time, it will be presented on the top floor of the building, creating a disorienting and stimulating experience for returning visitors.

The installation fills the room to waist height with recycled engine oil, from which it takes its name. A narrow walkway leads viewers into the space, immersing them in a mirrored environment where oil reflects the architecture with perfect symmetry. 20:50 invites reflection, the fragility of our surroundings, community and environmental uncertainty.

Phillipa Adams, Curator comments, “At its heart, The Long Now reaffirms the Gallery’s role as a platform for artists to challenge conventions and shape conversations that extend beyond the walls. It is both a celebration and a provocation, a reminder that art has always been a mirror of its time but also anticipates and interprets the future.”

Paul Foster, Saatchi Gallery Director adds, “2025 is a momentous year for the Gallery. It marks 40 years of showcasing contemporary art to a wide audience and renews our pledge as a charity to make contemporary art and creativity as accessible as possible. The Long Now demonstrates how art is relevant today.”

Henry Liu, SVP of Marketing and Communications, De Beers London comments, “We are delighted to partner with Saatchi Gallery for this special anniversary milestone. The Gallery serves as a beacon of creativity and innovation, and as these serve as central to the jewellery design philosophy at De Beers London, this is a natural brand commitment to this important cultural moment in the city.”
