peter marigold at 'craft punk' design miami/ performance

british designer peter marigold's new tables will be on view at the 'craft punk' design miami/ performance.
made from waste leather from fendi production the tops use a geometric principle (a bisected
square) to generate the repeating elements.






leather patches



design miami/ is curating an event outside its own territories in a unique partnership with fendi.
taking place during the salone del mobile in milan, 'craft punk’ will expand on the design
performance programme that is a highlight of design miami/.

craft is an area of design production that designers often turn to in the early stages of their careers.
‘craft punk’ will transform the 750 square meter spazio fendi into an active environment for social
interaction, unruly intellectual inquiry and actionbased design processes by inviting emerging designers
to work within traditional, or hand-made, craft methods. the designers can use discarded materials
from the fendi production process, such as selleria leather, branded fabrics, plastic decorative elements,
and metal hardware. demonstrating the creation process live and onsite, they will reinvent the way
a process or material is typically employed.

the designers contributing to ‘craft punk’ include kwangho lee, massimiliano adami, nacho carbonell,
peter marigold, raw-edges, sarah becker, simon hasan, studio glithero, studio libertiny, and yuri
suzuki + household. a truly international mix of talents, they come from as far afield as japan, denmark,
italy, israel, slovakia, spain, the netherlands, south korea, germany and the UK.

Normal timepieces by Ross McBride

Designer Ross McBride of Tokyo-based Normal presented a new collection of clocks and watches at 100% Design Tokyo last month.

The autumn range consists of a clock and a wristwatch, both available in various finishes.

Here’s some blurb from Normal:

–

Normal Timepieces are designed by Ross McBride, and produced by Normal Y.K.

The Normal Timepieces brand was launched in July of 2006, with a retrospective exhibition of Ross McBride’s work at Cïbone in Tokyo, Japan.

Two years in the making, it was the culmination of Ross’ love of timepieces, and strong desire to create a self-produced brand that fully embodied his own sensibilities.

The initial product range included three watches: “Extra Normal”, and two limited edition pieces, “Time Zone”, and “Time = Money”.

In Autumn of 2007, the range was limited to just the Extra Normal design, and expanded upon with a variety of new materials, and surface treatments. Additionally, a new Extra Normal wall clock was introduced.
