<div class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p>I am starting to have an unhealthy obsession with electrical products from the late 80s/90s. I have been looking at the technical elements of my design and trying to solve the steam feature. To help this I have been looking at Braun hair styling products that have a steam feature. I purchased this straightener yesterday, and I am currently watching hair tongs that have a cylindrical steam feature. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>For some reason I like the really shape driven design and obvious colour schemes. </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

A common method of ironing is using hair straighteners I adopted this trait into to an alternative ironing form. I also have been experimenting with using the iron in a more casual way, such as how we use a computer mouse, encouraging a more informal attitude as opposed to having to stand up.<br />

A common trait in hand held appliances is wrapping the cord around the unit, resulting in damage.<br />

It was good fun, and involved the use of a pole lathe, shaving horse and various niche hand tools. The wood used for the legs and bracing is ash, and the seat is poplar. I decided to make a variation of an armchair, and with some resistance came to terms with the fact it was never going to be perfect.<br />

We stumbled across this man in in a workshop in Zona Tortona, the process was really mesmerising. He kindly spun a small brass vessel and gave it to me, the vast amount of tools he had to achieve different effects was really impressive. He produced quite intricate decorative pieces in this workshop, for example pieces for churches.<br />

They require us to focus on safety, and family. We have taken the family orintated values of the brand and applied this to swimming, through the creation of a swim kit for families that makes the experience of getting changed slighty less stressful and more organised. I have currently been experimenting with casting rubber in the workshop, until I have some snaps of this heres a few images of the Continental factory in Hannover which I was lucky enough to visit!<br />

From this I have been observing interaction in this room, I focused in particular on tea and the ritual surrounding making it. I wanted to encourage the use of a teapot and loose tea in order to create a more social situatuion, as opposed to one person in the kitchen making numerous mugs of tea from a kettle using tea bags. In British cuture tea drinking is a common thing yet no one seems to have time to do it properly. So many people choose to drink tea on the go from a cardboard cup as they have such busy schedules, rather than taking a brief break to socialize with their friends and family.<br />
<br />
With a teapot it forces people to be together, I have been using a teapot for the past month. I have observed and recorded why people opt for the kettle and teabag over the tea pot. I have concluded it is due to the effort of getting the teapot and milk jug out along with cleaning it. I have created an elongated tea strainer and a lid that houses this and a spoon reducing mess and keeping everything neat along with eliminating the chore of cleaning the loose leaves out of the pot.<br />
<br />
These images show my development process and prototypes.<br />

I have currently been using chair cane and lapping cane, the strength of this process interests me in the form of joints, I feel this could fit in with a minimal product, rather than the obvious, an intricate basket.<br />

From our research, their main need was permanent storage, which doesn't exactly lend itself to textiles tremendously, however I perused the idea and came up with a storage proposal. I did a couple of bio resin samples, to gain an idea of what a bio resin composite would look like. The textiles are cotton, polyester and acrylic as they are most commonly found.<br />

My idea is a storage box based on the structure of cardboard, relating to the homeless, along with the use of textiles found by them as they are highly resourceful, the design also includes the use of the homeless language. I intend this storage to be in places that really relate to the homeless, such as underneath Waterloo Bridge or Lincolns Fields in Holborn, it would also encourage community and appear to the public almost like an installation. The rest of the products in the range produced by the other members in the textile group include a sleeping shelter and a pair of rusacks, I feel all the products work nicely and offer a varied response to the problem of homelessness through an appropriate material. The work done in this project has generated alot of interest, along with the possibility of manufacture which is all very exciting!!<br />

They walk around Temple, Shoreditch and London Bridge stopping at landmarks offering information and personal stories. It is ran by sock mob and offers a really interesting insight into sleeping rough, I met two really inspiring people called Viv and Mark. The tour offers raw information and opinions that cannot be found on the internet and books.<br />
<br />
Their natural instinct with regards to finding useful materials is clear, Viv curiously picked up an old sock whilst on the tour, mistaking it for a glove. Her intrest into re using materials was really natural, and blatently supported her memories from tent and cardboard city along with her knowledge of making bashes. I went to do research into my current project that focuses on re using and recycling textiles into methods of storage from locally sourced materials. I feel the homeless have great initiative and instinct in terms of resources and this project would be the perfect oppurtunity to generate employment for them and a way of expressing their creative skills. This is similar to the work of Emmaus, they integrate the homeless into society by offering jobs in furniture restoration from found items. One of their main concerns is to reduce pieces ending up in landfill.<br />

The seven different briefs are available on <a href="http://www.thersa.org/projects/design/student-design-awards/briefs">The RSA website</a>, I have decided to do Double Duty Devices, which focuses on the lack of recycling within the medical industry and how no body wants to be responsible for it. The amount of medical products that end their lives in landfill sites is disgusting, all because the consumers are uneducated about the materials that these products are made of, along with the difficulties that manufacturers face due to the stigma involved with recycling in the medical industry with regards to cross contamination, however the materials used could be applied to another industry where complete sterilisation isn't a nessescity.<br />

</a><br />
With regards to design week, I went to numerous exhibitions all over London, The big trade shows I went to were <a href="http://www.100percentdesign.co.uk/">100% Design</a> and<a href="http://www.tentlondon.co.uk/"> TENT</a>, as usual they were both quite overwhelming due to the intense amount of design in one place. However the Made in Kingston Exhibiton at TENT was quite interesting as it feature work from Ed Carpenter, Gitta Gschwendtner and Jasper Morrison. At 100% Design the <a href="http://ten-plan.com/">TEN</a> stand was my favourite part, the sustainable topic they were targetting was PLAN, a project that supplies instructions of how to make products, as a form of open design. My favourite was Legs by Alex Hellum, the plan focuses on how to make a jig in order to drill holes at an angle, along with how to wittle old wooden legs to fit into these holes.<br />
<br />
TEN won the Blueprint award for best stand at 100% Design and Jamie Shaw of the <a href="http://themadeincollective.co.uk/">Made in Collective</a> also won the Blueprint Award for Most Promising new designer, which is really inspiring. As a student still studying at Kingston it has been really exciting to see what all the graduates are doing, after their succesfull Made in.. exhibition I mentioned before. <a href="http://www.juliageorgallis.co.uk/">Julia Georgallis</a> and <a href="http://jessjonesdesign.co.uk/">Jess Jones</a> time rings seem to be quite successful and <a href="http://rosemaryanrudedesign.co.uk/">Rosemary Anrudes</a> trestles have been featured in three exhibitions in total over summer including one in Paris.<br />
<br />
I particularly enjoyed the smaller exhibitions throughout the design festival including the open studio and workshop at the <a href="http://www.barberosgerby.com/">BarberOsgerby</a> Studio. It was really interesting to see their process and how it goes from concept to reality, it was also nice to see someone in in there stil working on foam models. This broke up the gallery style environment which can get slightly tedious, throughout the design festival.<br />
<br />
The <a href="http://www.norwegianprototypes.com/Norwegian_Prototypes/Norwegian_Prototypes.html">Norwegian Prototypes</a> Exhibition was really refreshing, their restrictive theme of aeroplane luggage triggered some highly insightful products. Little Big Light by Hallgeir Homstvedt was probably my favourite as the use of materials was unexpected along with the defient aesthetic it appears to have in relation to the luggage restriction. Keel Seat by Oscar Narud, has a really raw visual quality which I find very appealling, it is reminiscent of the Bodging Milano exhibition which featured the work of Carl Clerkin and Gitta Gschwendtner at <a href="http://www.verydesignersblock.com/2009/2010/02/02/bodging-milano/">Designers Block</a> earlier on in the year in Milan.<br />
<br />
I also visited <a href="http://www.jaspermorrison.com/html/index.html">Jasper Morrisons shop</a>, where he had sourced a variety of trays from around the world. Each time I go to his shop I leave feeling quite inspired as he obviously very informed, and this is evident in his designs that always seem to strike a perfect equilbrium between style and function. This is evident in the DP01 telephone, which is produced by <a href="http://www.punktgroup.com/en/27/homepage.aspx">Punkt</a>, Switzerland.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.tomdixon.net/">Tom Dixons Shop</a> was another must see, at Portobello Dock in Ladbroke Grove, which was not the easiest place to find, especially in the rain. However it was good to see <a href="http://www.simonhasan.com/">Simon Hassan's </a>vending machine in action, along with his blatent knowledge of material and how to fully exploit leather. Despite all the pricey industrial design that surrounded me the most interesting product was the £15 bio-degradable bowls. They were very plain and straight to the point, I think my fascination with them is due to the type of products Tom Dixon is usually asscoiated with. The shop showed he is more than capable of being versitile as a designer, as in the past he did put 500 polystyrene chairs in Trafalgar Square which offered the public some insight into materials and manufacture.<br />
<br />
Overall the London Design Festival was the perfect way to end the summer and to start the second year of uni.<br />

I didn't manage to see much of the Isle of Wight, but the atmosphere was really nice I loved dressing up, however ham and eggs is well and truly dead which is understandable due to such an intense weekend.<br />
<br />
Anyway back to reality.. for the past two months I have been doing an internship with Ed Ward and Carl Clerkin, I have been helping out with their new brand All Lovely Stuff. The company will be selling homeware that combines function, personality and humour. The products are designed by Clerkin and Ward, the others are sourced from around the world and include a hook by Michael Marriot.<br />
<br />
The designs are currently on sale at <a href="http://www.alllovelystuff.com/">www.alllovelystuff.com</a> and are also in SCP over the London Design Festival. Last night was their launch night, which had a really nice atmosphere and was very busy. Numerous designers such as William Warren, Michael Marriot and Jon Harrison were all there, showing their support. I'm really proud to have been involved in the company, as I feel it makes good design accessible to everyone as everything is the reasonable price of £25 and under. I believe All Lovely Stuff will be well perceived this week, as it offers people the opportunity to take away a part of the London Design Festival, standing out from the over priced elitist designs that usually heavily feature.<br />
<br />
My favourite products are the MMM Doughnuts hook by Michael Marriot, Happy Chopper and the Chinese Scissors . Overall I think it is an inspiring collection, and I can't wait to watch it grow to become even lovelier.<br />

Leads to the Start of Design Week<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">The London Design Festival is nearly upon us.... and after Kingston University's impressive degree show I am very excited to see The Made in... Design Collective, a group of fellow students who graduated this year; they present their work at the East Gallery on Brick Lane. An exhibition showcasing design that strikes a balance between functionality and concept, along with an overwhelming knowledge of process and materials. A characteristic which was awarded the 100% design award earlier on this year at New Designers through the work of James Shaw, for his metal spinning project. It shows a real understanding of manufacture along with a genuine curiosity of materials, which is highly inspiring. Especially through his dustpan and brush that challenges our sterotypical views of the cheaply made injection moulded version, encouraging the user to aknowledge this is a product that is used often, so why not invest in something aesthetically pleasing and substantial.</span><br />
