  1. Chin Chin Laboratories

    Yesterday Andrew and Shai invited us to discover their most recent project and sample a few nitro ice cream… You might have read about it recently – London has finally got its first nitro icecream bar. They designed the interior of the new Chin Chin Laboratories’s nitro icecream bar in Camden.

    As a key idea behind their work they developped a mad scientists lab environement, where preparation area, display cabinet and lightning devices are all inter-connected with a lot of playfulness.
    No wire on the floor; everything goes trough the pipes seems to be one of the main very practical feature. Details amongst others, that I really liked, the cords of the swing have been partially un-woven and re-woven on themselves – there’s no knot!

    * Chin Chin Laboratories are located in Camden – the address is 49 Camden Lock Place.

    The confectionning and preparation areas, cabinet and display are all hold together by the tubular structure.

    The lightbulbs are directly plugged on the structure.

    even the drinks had that mad scientists feeling (kir royal in a pipette)

    un-woven – re-woven

    ** Andrew Haythornthwaite and Shai Akram began their collaboration shortly after graduating from the Royal College of Art in 2006 on the Design Products course headed by Ron Arad. Their projects have taken them to China, New Zealand and now, back to the UK.
    They presented their Fruit Fishing for FoodMarketo in Milan 2010; which is based on the scientific fact that apples float and pears don’t.

    While browsing the archives, we stumbleupon this short animation that we made a little while ago and never published – it was made to explain the assembly of the flat pack chair designed by Lars Frideen and shot on location in his studio. The chair is made out of 4 elements, piece of wood pre-cut and easy to assemble – requiring no glue or screw.

    * Lars also designed the 15 wall shelves working on the same principles of sliding and interlocking simple wood elements – providing a functional storage solution.

  3. Ken Kirton’s see-trough website

    Ken updated his website; he decided to use the see-through technique; instead of representing his work, he used a frame to curate others representing his work.

    http://www.kenkirton.com/

    Although, I am hesitent to call this my new website, I would prefer my new frame. There are already enough platforms where we can voice our opinions, display our work and even publish our everyday thoughts. Therefore instead of creating an exhibit of work I have created a frame, enjoy! It’s Friday.

    Who owns the airspace above our heads? How can we take back control of these spaces? What is the extent of the airspace we can control?

    Nelly Ben Hayoun (Interactions designer) and Dr Alison J Williams (geography researcher) met through the Interventions Project, an initiative based in the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences at Newcastle University, UK. This venture teamed for 8 weeks designers with social scientists to develop innovative ways of commenting on their academic research.

    There’s a good lot going on today with books, earlier with the St Bride book we worked on – i just received an email from Amandine about the availability of the book featuring some of her recent typographic work.

    3d_typography-amandine_alessandra.jpg

    You can buy the book directly from Mark Batty Publisher or from Amazon.

    Amandine’s Booksetting Poster is available through DesignMarketo.

    3D Typography
    By Jeanette Abbink & Emily CM Anderson
    Page Count: 224 pages
    Size: 8.7 x 11 inches
    Format: Casebound
    Publication Date: June 2010
    Price: $45
    ISBN: 978-0-9841906-2-1

    The authors
    Jeanette Abbink opened the design studio Rational Beauty in 2008. Prior to opening Rational Beauty, Abbink was the founding creative director of Dwell magazine. She has also served as a designer and art director for numerous magazines, including The New York Times sports magazine Play, as well as American Craft and Martha Stewart Living.

    Graphic designer Emily CM Anderson was selected as an Art Directors Club Young Gun 6 in 2008. She has worked for magazines such as Dwell and American Craft, and co-designed the book Brooklyn Modern for Rizzoli.

    From type crafted of steel and neon, to carefully-cut live moss, everyday items like buttons and sugar cubes, to giant installments of polythene and paper, the work in 3D Typography serves as a bold reaction to the fact that so much of today’s typography is conceived via screens.

    “If you’re anything like us, you may never look at letters in quite the same way – and may even be inspired to undertake a project of your own,” said Abbink and Anderson. “As we learned, potential letterforms are everywhere, just waiting to be cut, carved, knitted, grown, spun, melted, molded, hammered, flown – and otherwise reclaimed.”

    Along with a fascinating introduction by renown architecture and design critic Karrie Jacobs and interviews with artists, contributors include Amandine Alessandra, Thorbjørn Ankerstjerne, asa~ama, Autobahn, Huda Abdul Aziz, Andrew Byrom, Rhett Dashwood, Keetra Dean Dixon, Oded Ezer, Hikaru Furuhashi, Anna Garforth, Keith Hancox, HandMadeFont, Fons Hickmann, Karrie Jacobs, Gyöngy Laky, Amitis Pahlevan, Mike Perry, Clotilde Olyff, Miguel Ramirez, Camilo Rojas, Stefan Sagmeister, Dan Tobin Smith, Typeworkshop, Thijs Verbeek, Thomas Voorn and many, many more. For the full list of contributors and to learn more about the book visit the official website, http://3DTypographyBook.com.

    * bravo Amandine! :)

  7. FOUNT – freshly bound

    FOUNT is available for pre-order; it will be on sale at St Bride Library tonight; right after Phil Baines’ conference on Puffin Books. Rather than a perfect book, FOUNT should be considered as a series of suggestions, an incomplete guide to designing and making a book. Its content has been directly sourced from St Bride’s bookshelves (which house some amazing and rare volumes) and we have also added a couple of extra annotation and instructions of our own.

    This volume was created and compiled by Adam Chelstov, Jackson Lam, Patrick Lacey (åbäke) and Jérôme Rigaud (electronest) at the occasion of the Ninth Friends of St Bride Conference.

    * You can come down to the talk and see the thing for real – or alternativelly you can pre-order it from DesignMarketo directly: http://designmarketo.com/fount/

    ** Phillips de Pury & Company successful introduce the best of new art talent to the secondary market as well as hosting a significant range of selling shows for contemporary artists and designers. http://www.phillipsdepury.com/

    *** This the text that is accompanying Glass Hill piece:

    We asked Markus Bergström and Joe Nunn to create
    a chair that would complement their design for the
    exhibition space at Phillips de Pury. The duo from
    Glass Hill responded with this perfectly propor-
    tioned seat that speaks to the virtues of simplicity,
    form, and craftsmanship, and our need for them.
    Asked about their process, they said well-consid-
    ered dimensionality speaks with the greatest elo-
    quence. We agree.

    ‘Southern yellow pine variously planed, dimensioned
    and machined. 450 mm front seat height pitched at 3
    degrees to rear along 290 mm deep seat. Back rest
    opens at 102.5 degrees from seat plane rising to
    760mm above floor height and dropping 290 mm
    towards to seat back. Overall depth of seat area from
    back rest plane is 360 mm. Seat is mounted to double
    rails set at an angle 6 degrees from seat edge with 8 no.
    4×40 mm screws. Both rails are ex45× 60mm with a
    machined top angle of 4 degrees in opposing lateral
    planes. All legs and support for back rest are mortised
    into this rail. Front legs mount perpendicular to rail
    and seat, back leg at 24 degrees from seat angle and
    back rest mount at 12.5 degrees on opposing (top)
    surface. The rail’s pitch pushes the front legs out to
    the limits of the chairs overall width of 340 mm dic-
    tated by the square cut seat and back. The sides of the
    chair are parallel.’ – Glass Hill
