Collect 2026 at Somerset House: The Global Destination for Contemporary Craft and Collectible Design

 

There is something quietly radical about walking into a space where every object carries the trace of a human hand. In an era shaped by algorithms and acceleration, contemporary craft feels less like a category and more like a counterpoint - deliberate, storied, resistant.

 

From 27 February to 1 March 2026, with previews on 25–26 February, Collect 2026 returns to Somerset House in London for its 22nd edition. Widely recognised as the leading international art fair for contemporary craft and collectible design, Collect brings together 40 specialist galleries and arts organisations - including 14 new exhibitors - presenting work by over 300 living artists from across the globe.
