festivalitis


I'm batting on both teams this year.
Whilst the Strength in Numbers window is under the aegis of Melbourne International Design Festival, I'm also doing work under State of Design as well. Justin and Dhiren smooth talked Mr Porcelain and I into helping out on Before and After, a recycling project using objects from the Brotherhood of St Lawrence. These products are then going to be used for EatGreenDesign.
This part of the project is a temporary restaurant serving sustainable and organic food and drink.
The boys came up with the idea of re-vamping old Featherston designed office chairs. Having helped out on three, Jus convinced me to do one of my own, The Little Knitted Chair. It is handknitted from tubular knitted wool yarn. Kind of a chair sweater.
