100% DESIGN 2006 - First Look
by Jill Fehrenbacher
Karen Ryan’s Second-Hand Plates
London design week is even bigger and crazier than New York design week, so its a great time to discover exciting new designs and rising design stars. Although most of us US-based Inhabitants were unable to skip the pond this year for the London Design festival, we’ve been fortunate to have a couple of friends in London reporting on the design exhibition. Sustainable design guru Kimberly Oliver (the lady behind Haute Green) has been scoping out the London scene this weekend, and sends the following report from 100% Design:
Rising design star Karen Ryan, whose Custom Made chairs and Second Plates (shown above) are all unique items made from salvage goods - has quickly become a new favorite over here at Inhabiat. More on her in the next few days…
The Whisky Chair by Edinburgh-based David Trujillo-Farley is made entirely from reclaimed oak whisky barrels
Hector Serrano’s “My Treasure” books at 10 booth at 100% Design
We’re not sure what this is - but we like the look of it! Anyone?
Kimberly Oliver has been jetting around London on a whirlwind tour of all the design sites. You can see more of her photos on her Flickr photostream >
We will also be posting more photos here in the next few days, so check back!
