Revisit Cavaliero Finn presents Verdant Pulse at Collect 2026 | 25 February - 21 March 2026

Emerging from the quiet introspection of winter, Cavaliero Finn's curation "Verdant Pulse" for Collect 2026 was designed to evoke lightness, movement, and the joyful momentum of new beginnings. Rooted in ideas of natural transformation and sensory awakening, Verdant Pulse invites visitors to Somerset House to reconnect with optimism and vitality through the language of craft. It builds a visual and tactile landscape that is both contemplative and invigorating - an environment in which nature's forms and rhythms, human craftsmanship, and the spirit of spring converge, giving us a sense of hope, beauty, and possibility.

Presented in room W17, in the West Wing of Somerset House, from Wednesday February 25th until Sunday 1st March Cavaliero Finn won an Outstanding Display award for its Verdant Pulse presentation at Collect 2026. The award was presented to us by the new fair director TF Chan, and creative duo, Jordan Cluroe and Russell Whitehead of 2LG Interior Design Studio.

To top this, congratulations go to our artists Katharine Swailes and Richard McVetis whose works were added to the permanent collection of the V&A at the fair.

To say we are over the moon with both these accolades would be an understatement. We'd like to thank all of our talented artists for making such wonderful work for this presentation. They truly excelled themselves.
