Case Study: Solidwool Tables at Brewdog Soho

March 31, 2016

You've no doubt heard of Brewdog. Bored of industrially brewed lagers and stuffy ales dominating the UK market (their words), the founders of Brewdog James and Martin thought they'd give it a go themselves.

They started in April 2007 selling beer from a market stall and have been on a crazy and fast growing ride ever since then.

They've successfully crowdfunded for equity a number of times. They call it 'Equity for Punk's' and now have the backing of over 14,500 investors made up of their customers. These are people that love craft beer and are the heart and soul of the business.

Brewdog Soho opened late 2015 and was designed by interior design studio, Blacksheep. They approached us to see if we could supply flat sheet Solidwool for use as a surface material for some of the tables.

We could and so we supplied them with 3 sheets of 1220mm x 610mm and 3 rounds of 600mm diameter. All topped with a protective lacquer coating.

Their contractors then fitted the Solidwool to a wooden ply substrate, added some legs and finished the tables with a metal trim.

If you're in the area, then take a look. We'd love to see your photos #brewdogsosolidwool.

Makers & Creators | Foldability

February 28, 2016

Foldability is a design studio specialising in creative projects inspired by origami and geometry, run by Kyla McCallum.

We met Kyla just over two years ago, exhibiting alongside her as part of the Designersblock show during Milan Design Week 2014.

Her folded, origami creations are a thing to behold. 

After spending a week admiring her geometric lampshades, there was no chance we would not come back with one of her creations.

Her designs are visually unique, always with an underlying element of folding. 

The designs are created, primarily by hand, from her studio in East London. Projects include set design, window displays, interior projects, graphic design and packaging.

As well as product collections and commissions, Kyla collaborates with brands. Most recently with Elle Decoration for an origami inspired cover and H&M creating over 2,000 hand folded flowers for a display in their flagship London store.
