You’ve Got Mail! spotlights an everyday object we rarely stop to notice – the letterbox. Familiar to all and quietly overlooked, it carries a subtle story of change.
Once a vital link between people, the letterbox now sits quietly at the front of our homes. The exhibition asks: does it still serve a purpose, or has it become little more than a stand for displaying a house number?
The exhibition brings together Olivia Bossy, Tom Fereday, Kenny Young Soo Son, Sean Brickhill, Belle Thierry, Billy Mayard, Nic Morgante, Adam Goodrum and Georgia Weitenberg to reimagine the letterbox, each proposing a bold new expression of what a letterbox can be.
Alongside them, a range of international designers will contribute a piece of mail, the very content that gives the letterbox meaning, injecting narrative and exchange into the space.
Together, these works celebrate designers who dare to rethink the ordinary, transforming humble objects to evolve alongside the world around them.
