Part of
The Deptford Project
Last Summer, the artists and designers who work on site at The Deptford Project came together to build an outdoor cinema. It was part of a programme of activity to make the site come alive. Full houses every night enjoyed the Silent Cinema experience in a programme of films that included Ferris Bueller’s Day Off and American Werewolf in London.
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
Aram Store and Gallery
This is the first piece of Bauhaus furniture ever designed – Walter Gropius’s F51 Chair. It was part of an exhibition of furniture made by the German manufacturer Tecta at Aram Store for The London Design Festival in 2010. In the Aram Gallery Ineke Hans had her first ever UK solo show. We’ve worked for Aram since the store in Covent Garden opened in 2002.
Her House Gallery
We’ve been working with Morag Myerscough to promote Her House Gallery since it opened in its original Clerkenwell location in 2003. Her latest show in December 2010 was an exhibition of her personal collection of vintage chairs, displayed as a backdrop for a collection of textiles and ceramics by architect Vicky Thornton.

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. This Autumn we launched 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, was designed to roll out as a communications campaign 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.
