shai akram + andrew haythornthwaite: furniture landscape at queen of hoxton
new furniture landscape for queen of hoxton by shai akram and andrew haythornthwaite
shai akram and andrew haythornthwaite of OKAY studio collective have designed and installed a new ‘panorama’ of furniture at the queen of hoxton in london. the system is a landscape of surfaces including prop bars for standing and drinking, seats and tables connected to one another by archways of scaffolding. to construct the frames, the duo used a simple box section to construct the frames of the pieces and have given the legs padded heat shrink ‘socks’ to protect them from their hard life standing on the busy bar floor.

tables come in various shapes, heights and sizes to accommodate the various activities that occur in the bar setting.

i guess it’s a global trend to make simple plain wood/metal furniture, with a design on the edge of being very ugly. when will it stop.
you see ugly, I see new ideas of beauty. NICE
And I say very cool…good design doesn’t have to be fancy.
I love these! Clever designers. The painted legs make the tables zing.
Romper-room furniture but the kids will get splinters. Only the tops feel finished. Simple can be elegant, utilitarian can be graceful, UGGs are charming. This is pedantic, argumentative, anti-aesthetic — crude for the sake of crude.
to someone who goes to queen of hoxton quite a bit, this doesnt seem that sturdy. I have to wonder if the designers ever visited the bar when the stereo is up and everyones had a few shandys
the difference between the ‘concept sketch’ and the reality of the queen IS quite hilarious…
I don’t agree with ‘clever design’ comments. Its creative, and I support creativity, but this is not ”clever design”
