Tinker it now!

I like to experiment with event formats and after Makers & Hackers I thought it might be fun to try something for the Milan Furniture Fair as we’ll be part of the Milano Green Art Festival.

Having a background in product design makes the Fair quite an exhausting experience. Once you’ve seen 10 new tables designs, you’ve seen them all. So Massimo and I thought that it would be great to organise an event that was centered around turning the design activity upside down: from one single designer with a new product to an open audience using left-over materials or commonly known as junk :)

So on April 18th if you’re in London or Milan, we’ll be opening our respective offices up and getting crazy creative types to come in and make a piece of lighting with materials we will have collected in charity shops, landfill shops and other strange places…. you don’t have to know electronics as you can use the guts of a regular lamp but this is totally DIY and you’ll have to bring some of your own stuff too….

As we did for Makers and Hackers, we’ll select the best pieces at the end of the day and display them as part of our presence at the Milan Green Art Festival.

Tickets are just £30 to cover for materials and a little lunch. Hope you’ll join us!!!
