LDF 2011: Okay Studio / Arco

Furnisher — Fri, 23 Sep 2011 04:43:58 +0000

What happens when you take ten designers based in London and you leave them for one week inside an empty factory in the Dutch countryside? This is what… Having successfully carried out a similar project in 2005, Arco invited ten Okay Studio designers (a collective of RCA graduates) to experiment with their state-of-the-art machinery and see what they could come up with – this time based from the factory, and in just a week. They were challenged to make something from wood that was completely different from anything in the current Arco catalog. The resulting prototypes are displayed in “The Garage” just off Brompton Road from September 17-25th for the London Design Festival

You know when your plane starts descending and you know it’s almost time to land, and you look out the window and see the same world you’ve always seen but in a whole new way – from above it all? It’s a common experience that I’m sure many of us have shared, the beauty of which designer Liz Eeuwes appreciated enough to capture. Her new collection of rugs illustrates exactly that, and you can see from these images that it is both an intriguing idea and a beautifully illustrated concept.

Pictured in these two images is the Strathmore Rug, inspired by a bird’s eye view of the Scottish countryside. Her collection also includes the Lisse inspired by Tulip Fields and the Bali by rice patty terraces. This collection will be shown in the Futures Area at 100% Design as part of London Design Week 2009 from September 24-27. Learn more at Eeuwes’ website.
