Exhibited at Experimenta Lisbon 2009, the 9th Contemporary Art Biennale in Lyon, the Stanley Picker gallery in Kingston, the Milan Triennale or De Vleeshal in Middelburg, Åbäke has curated the Unbuilt Helsinki exhibition, a research workshop and production studio at the Museum of Finnish Architecture.

In close contact with Ryan Gander, Johanna Billing and Fritz Haeg, the London-based firm works with such prestigious institutions as the London Design Museum, the Victoria and Albert Museum and the Serpentine Gallery, and with musicians such as Daft Punk and fashion designers such as the Maison Martin Margiela or Hussein Chalayan.

For some years Åbäke has worked in partnership with the designer Martino Camper. Together they have designed the Book Corner for the British Council and the works Trattoria al Capello and 100 Chairs in 100 Days and its 100 Ways, and have set up the remarkable publishing house Dent-De-Leone.

Unanimously praised by his peers, Martino Gamper has made a name for himself by creating seats out of reassembled fragments of chairs. However, besides using waste from mass consumption or expressing a postmodern discourse based on sampling, he has designed a daring project that challenges the role of experimentation in the field of design. Acclaimed since 100 Chairs in 100 Days and its 100 Ways, Gamper also pursues other avenues and exhibits his work throughout the world.
