SPACE + TIME EXHIBITION @ HOXTON HALL


Space + Time Exhibition ( 19 -20 September 2009)

Design is about space and time, the space we inhabit and the objects we choose to fill it with. Renewable resources are paramount to the sustainability of our environment.
The exhibition is in collaboration with Hoxton Halls Architecture Open House event, which happens every year and attracts up to 2000 visitors over the weekend.




Exhibitors:WOOSA WOOSA, HITCH MYLIUS, CHRISTOPHER LAKONY, ESKAART, URBAN UPHOLSTERY, LONDON ORIGAMI SOCIETY, JAPAN MATSURI, HOXTON HALL

Andrea and Patrizia, founder of Urban Upholstery, says: “We seek to create a more responsible, interesting and aesthetically pleasing environment. We see upholstery as an art that allows us to interpret the potentials in every day life and we wanted to create a new line of furniture that improves people lives and their relationship with the environment. We have always recycled furniture because we are passionate about old features and objects, reading their history and transforming them. As designers we approach furniture like miniature architectures, able to create space and to identify with the person hat owns them.”

SPIRIT OF DESIGN

SPIRIT OF DESIGN is an exhibition that followed the step of the London Design Week 2008 to showcase a selection of work by Fashion and Textile designer Ann Bibby, by artist and designer Fiona Gall and by furniture designers-maker Urban Upholstery. ‘Spirit of Design’ wanted to stress the importance of each other’s work, emphasising recycling as potential for a new style and trend. All the objects in the exhibition used to be waste and re-crafted with the vibrant design of the patchwork, the flamboyant matching of up-cycled textiles and the poetic of wirings and glasses. 19-23 September 2008
