Part of
The Deptford Project
This is London’s grooviest café – a 1960’s commuter train carriage that we converted and installed on a development site in Deptford High Street, South London. It’s there to kick start and breathe life into a regeneration process, two years before our clients, Cathedral Group, begin to develop a building on the site designed by Richard Rogers.
Design for London
Millennium Mills is only one of the empty buildings in London’s Royal Docks. We’ve just completed an project there looking at how we might use some of the empty spaces and buildings to start generating some interest in it as an area due for massive redevelopment. Read more
Spanish Embassy Commercial Office
Spain Through The Looking Glass will be installed at Decorex in September 2010 by young Spanish design duo Herme Ciscar & Mónica García. We’ve commissioned it as part of our decade-long campaign of award-winning exhibitions, publishing and sustained media relations to build Spain’s reputation as a world-class producer of cutting edge design, furniture, lighting, rugs and textiles.
Aram Store and Gallery
These are pigment trials from Ron Arad’s Design Museum in Holon. They are exhibited as part of the latest Prototypes and Experiments show at Aram Gallery, (July 1st – 28th August), which focuses on prototypes and experiments from architects’ studios. Our work to promote The Aram Gallery is a core part of our campaign for its host, Aram Store in London’s Covent Garden.
CABE:Grey To Green
To highlight the critical lack of investment in our cities’ green infrastructure we commissioned these beautiful maps from designer Morag Myerscough. They depict Liverpool, Gloucester and the London Boroughs of Hackney and Islington by their greenery rather than as normal, by their roads and buildings.
CABE:Design Skills Scholarships
We run the CABE Space design skills scholarship programme – an annual initiative to help inject design awareness and good practice into the professions that create and manage urban public space.
The scheme offers grants to fund work or study trips abroad, to enable people without any formal design training to experience good practice first hand and gain practical understanding of delivering and managing well-designed public space.
Priestmangoode
Mercury is Priestmangoode’s concept for the UK’s new high speed train. We’re starting a campaign for them to persuade the Government that a new Great British transport design icon is just what we need to showcase British design and engineering in an increasingly competitive global marketplace.
The Mayor's Great Spaces
Design for London commissioned us to build a strategy for The Mayor of London’s programme to support good design in new public spaces across London. Our initial branding work, in partnership with Studio Myerscough, will roll out as a communications campaign throughout 2010 including a major new awards scheme for public space design.
The Forgiveness Project
May 2010: Archbishop Desmond Tutu speaks in London for The Forgiveness project. In a world where retaliation and revenge grab all the headlines, The Forgiveness Project is an organisation working to help build a future free of conflict and violence by encouraging people to explore the nature of forgiveness. Central to the organisation is The F word: images of forgiveness, a powerful photography exhibition which tells the stories of people whose lives have been shattered by violence, tragedy and injustice and who are learning to forgive. We helped launch the organisation in 2004 and have continued to support it ever since.
