Patrik Fredrikson and Ian Stallard discuss the challenges and pleasures of working and living together in a film originally commissioned by the V&A contemporary team for the ‘Two’s a Pair’ Friday Late event in 2010
This short film is one of a series of five featuring designers who live as well work together.
Smile for Japan
Every time we put together a show we commission a T shirt to remember the event by. This year we thought of all our friends in Japan that couldn’t be with us and those from Japan that did manage to make it to Milan and were in the show, and raised a little smile for them.
We decide to donate the profits to the EGAKU draw for Japan event that our friend Soju Tanaka put together to support the relief effort in Japan. The 2nd event takes place this Sunday, this time in Sunny Dalston, where all the Hipsters live.
There will be some great work buy, all very reasonably priced and for a good cause, so try and make it down if you can.
You can read all about the project here and see our previous post about it here
