Aram Store (September)

Under the Same Roof - New work by OKAY Studio

The exhibition is a unique insight into the way this group has set up their way of working in London. Collectively the exhibition will explore how many different approaches to life and a creative existence are possible under the same roof offering insight into the ambient ongoing process of being a designer in London today.

Piet Hein Eek

Piet Hein Eek, Pop up shop, within the London Design Festival.

A shop showcasing their work. I really like the use of old reclaimed woods, and the laquered finnish. I like the contrasting colours between the different types of woods. I like the simplicity and honesty that these objects have.

Wouldn't It Be Nice....

...... wishful thinking in art and design.

Current exhibition on at Somerset House, it brings together ten artists and designers whose work shares a common theme. Subtitles 'wishful thinking', the show's territory is a modest form of Utopianism, a whistle of optimism for how things could be, set against a bass note of misgiving.

Below is Couture Car Cover by Bless. Made from leather and foam, the idea is to enable the car lover 'to bring his or her favourite car upstairs and use it indoors for a different function: to sit, or sleep on it'.

Below is a piece by Martino Gamper called Collective Furniture.

Tent London 2008

Tent London this year was held in the Truman Brewery on Brick Lane following on from last year. It didn't seem as big however this year, not that this is nessasarily a bad thing, I tend to get bored if i have to trail around too long.

Kingston Uni's stand looked really good, and there were a few interesting designs. The exhibition is divided up into several parts, the old classics, and newer designs. Although I do love some of the old classics, the new section is my favorite to look around.

Fashion V Sport

Current exhibition at the V&A, Fashion V Sport explores the relationship between contemporary fashion and global sportswear brands, looking at how the two industries have both inspired and collaborated with each other in recent years. Garments, footwear, images and film highlight the way in which these products are worn, collected and customised.
