Jasper Morrison, John Pawson and Amanda Levete create works for Maggie's charity auction
Dezeen promotion: a mix of established and emerging designers have contributed one-off artworks to be auctioned anonymously for Joy of Living, an initiative raising money for Maggie's Centres.
The Joy of Living exhibition is organised by design writer Max Fraser, who first ran the event in 2011, and new collaborator Aynsley Munsie.
For each iteration, Fraser invites designers to contribute an artwork around a theme or using particular materials ? and this year Jasper Morrison, John Pawson, Barber and Osgerby, Tom Dixon, Amanda Levete, Faye Toogood, Bethan Laura Wood, Rolf Sachs and Lee Broom are among those who answered the call.
For this, the third instalment, the brief was to use three pieces of coloured paper from GF Smith's Colorplan range. The colours were randomly selected from a set of 12, and the designers could manipulate them in any manner they wanted. The results range from sketches and colourful collages to a sculpture of a desk lamp and some shredded-paper homeware.
It's not known who made which work, meaning buyers are enticed to bid by the qualities of the art ? and the chance they might be taking home a piece by a big name.
Although the creator of each piece will only be revealed once it has sold, the works are signed by their makers.
All proceeds from the sale of the artworks will go to Maggie's, a charity that offers free practical and emotional support for people living with cancer. It is known for its network of care centres across the UK, which are...
