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

Suzanne Sharp is one half of The Rug Company . She and her husband, Chris, started The Rug Company with the idea that they would see rugs from a contemporary viewpoint without sacrificing quality and the traditional rug making skills. Inspired by the classical and armed with pure 21st century spirit, a good visual imagination and an inherent ability to know what works they soldiered on. It was a daunting task but it was a challenge that has been worth the effort.

Recent grad Yvette Cox just exhibited her Florence coffee table for the first time at New Designers 2011 . The steam-bent hand-sculpted table base has 13 fluid twisting pieces of wood that interweave. I love how it feels like draped ribbons

Tenenbaum Hazan created a chair out of a most unexpected material: old roller blinds. The TRIS chair is made from plastic roller blinds that, according to the designers, in Israel have no economical profitability in its recycling processes, as they’re now being replaced with aluminum roller blinds. To preserve and reuse the materials, they’ve designed a closed wooden structure in which the blinds are held.
