interim show 2009, royal college of art, london:

this is a chair, a concept of making individual chairs, by industrial design engineering student adam paterson. the rca student wants to unite the consumer into the production experience. you are allowed to mix the ingredients for your chair and to appoint the form of your own chair.

pack contents:
1 x cleat 480 gauge polythene mold
1 x chair making experience

amsterdam-based sebastian brajkovic doesn’t just make chairs – there is also a table that fits into his lathe concept.
see previous post.

from the press release of the carpenters workshop gallery, london: ‘the evocative sense of movement is conveyed in the spinning lines of the quasi vortex, offering the past impression of a moment of great movement and now stillness. Inspired originally by a child’s spinning top, whizzing around at high speed, it has the same illusion that once at its optimal speed it is no longer moving but standing up straight.’

I am bad. yesterday I went to the exhibition called ‘feierabend’ (german word for home time) at the kate mcgarry gallery in bethnal green, london.

a nice guy from the gallery told me not to take pictures. but he said that it is okay as long as it was for non commercial use. I didn’t mean to put anything about the work of london-based designer martino gamper, his artist girlfriend francis upritchard and jewelery designer karl fritsch on my blog. but the exhibition is a beautiful collaborative installation and I couldn’t resist to publish at least 2 of the pictures I took. In hope to encourage you to see the exhibition in the tiny gallery in east london.

this is the spaghetti bench by argentina-born pablo reinoso. I took this picture at the design art fair in london last year. It randomly returned from oblivion in my photographs folder.
