We’re big believers in making mistakes as a vital part of the creative process and it’s noticeable how often interviewees reference great mistakes they’ve lived through and learned from when we speak to them. To celebrate the power of the error, Designboost is holding an exhibition at the forthcoming Stockholm Design Week, featuring these amazing portraits of leading industry figures like Tom Dixon, Erwan Bouroullec and Jay Osgerby looking as though they’ve just dropped a clanger. There will also be a book focussing on the f**-up as creative force. Smart stuff all round.
