london design festival 08 preview: okay studio at the aram gallery

september 18 – november 8, 2008
okay studio is a design collective consisting of shay alkalay, tomas alonso, jordi canudas, mathias hahn,
peter marigold, yael mer, oscar narud, hiroko shiratori and jorre van ast. while all the designers have
established their own careers at various studios, they band together to concentrate on self-initiated work.
in this, their first curated exhibition, the gallery will highlight the individual working process of each of the
designers rather than the collective. besides new work, ‘under the same roof’ will also focus on their studio,
including sketches, prototypes and failed ideas. while the show begins during london design week, it will
continue to run into the fall.

andrew haythornthwaite: autoboxes
taking mechanical cues from the children's toy jack-in-the-box, this project explores structures that can expand and contract with an easy gesture.
