Clerkenwell Design Week 2010

Connection launch new ´Hive´ product

We’re still buzzing about Clerkenwell Design Week 2010. The great and good of the design industry got together in Clerkenwell, the heart of London’s creative home, for 3 days of inspirational design showcases, exhibitions, informative discussions and of course some socialising; we particularly enjoyed the Hog Roast on the final evening hosted by Ahrend and Boss Design.

We attended some really engaging talks over the course of the week, from the Fakes debate from Knoll, looking at the issue of copycat products to the relationship between national culture and office space facilitated by Steelcase Solutions.

We also had a presence at Clerkenwell Design Week in support of our client Connection, who we’ve worked with to help launch their new product Hive; a seating system for the third space which demonstrates the benefits of integrating furniture and technology to increase productivity. We had great fun creating this stop-frame animation for the two Hive products – take a look at the movies here.

In summary, we thought Design Week was a great success and we’re keen to see how it will evolve over the coming years as it grows in profile.
