london-based designer philippe malouin and his architect friend sacha leong have designed the new interior of the b store showroom.
the creatives work together under the name post office – interiors and architecture studio. my favourite in the b store is the noticeable lamp that consists from white long lightbulbs. simple and good. guys, when are you coming to my place to install my lamp?

the furniture is an 2 year old project of london-based designer martino gamper. a series of design classics by Italian designer gio ponti were destroyed and reassembled into new pieces in front of a live audience at the design miami/basel. the whole happening is called: If only gio knew…’. the pieces were exhibited at the superstories triennale at the z33 in hasselt, belgium.

I visited the new designers show last month. design students andrew duffy, craig tyler and edward harrison from the university of rochester presented a minature rotational moulding machine.
the DIY (do It yourself) rotation moulding machine is built to replicate the industrial process to help further understand its possibilities. it was built at no cost from scrap materials and simply powered by a cordless drill. one of them told me that they just invested 5 pounds for the machine. what a bargain.
