my favourite at the new designers show is definitely nicola morgan‘s alterpretations collection.

the garments are laser cut and link together without the need for machine sewing.

I visited the new designers show at the buisness design centre, a show that brings together the best in uk graduate design.

I really like this work. a young university of plymouth student (I didn’t write his name down, please let me know who made this if you know) applied cigarettes into the production of the plate. once fired they leave a void.

the designer wrote: ‘why do I always want a cigarette after every meal?… the irony is that my most intense tobacco cravings follow a good meal.

english designer sebastian wrong created a light installation with his new lamp called buggs. ‘a buggs life’ is presented at the established & sons limited showroom.

the smiling face reminds me of the excessive and humorous characters in the ‘alice in wonderland’ cartoon.

danecia sibingo, a 3rd year architecture student designed this year’s architectural association summer pavilion.

the triangular pavilion is built from sustainable spruce plywood and is called driftwood. It is constructed from slices of plywood assembled vertically on a wooden frame, creating an undulating surface. danecia’s work is based on the bedford square and looks like something that was forgotten by an unknown species. I think, It should stay there forever.

after graduation you suddenly lose all your work possibilities. but there are some institutions that might help you out. couple months ago I visited the metropolitan works. It calls himself ‘london’s leading creative Industries centre’. the aim is to help designers and manufacturers develop ideas and bring new products to reality.

a con is, that london-based designers get a discount while other designers have to pay the full price… at least there is a new space and a manufacturing resource for designers working in the city. so, move to london or pay the full price.

graduation is over. now I need some time to ‘recover’. I found a nice photo of one of my prototypes of my modus operandi collection. one of my fellow students used it to sit on it during lunch. we called it ‘stair chair’. any buyers? this graduation made me poor. : )
