Annelou van Griensven - Tea Table detail

Annelou van Griensven is fascinated by everyday ‘invisible realities’; eccentric people, urban locations or worrisome operating statuses. In short: extreme situations which most people avoid. She makes modern society’s rough edges perceptible which leads to understanding and acceptance of these situations. Photography and design play a key role in the questioning and visualization of Van Griensven’s topics. She often collaborates with designers from various disciplines to meet her goals. With this project she collaborated with her brother and furniture designer Joep van Griensven. Read More…

The Three Bears

The Three Bears are designed as furniture for children.

Father Bear, Mother Bear and Baby Bear, can be nested and children can sit on top or crawl underneath. Felt is used as a sustainable material with soft and natural qualities. The shape is held together with metal rods.

We were delighted to be invited to the Vitra showroom in Clerkenwell to see the unveiling of a new piece from our friend Cristiana Ionescu who exhibited with us at the Bargehouse back in September and caused quite a stir at the interiors show in Birmingham last month. Read More…

We first worked with KithKin back in 2007 when they took part in the 3rd show we produced at the Nicholls & Clarke Building in Bishopsgate. They sent us this lovely negative record.

They also completed one of the seven windows we produced for Selfridges during the design festival in 2008. Read More…
