Jessica Nebel – Flip it
…It is strange to forget everything about
your life and still have some things that feel familiar… A poster
with an alterable structure to display messages – a visually professional and
attention grabbing alternative to messy blackboard writings. Yasuko Bell – Behind The Curtain
…There is nothing more scary than what we create
in our own imagination… A
playful curtain, which feed the imagination on an event that might be going
on behind. Gini Coates -
'Come Enjoy the Madness'
…the man next to me is sniffing every 7.5
seconds… The Great
Eastern Hotel is located on the site where Bedlam used to stand. The public
were encouraged to visit, and for a penny they could peer in to the cells.
This adapted Victorian chair pays homage to the history of the hotel, with a
schizophrenic interactive printed seat referencing psychometric testing and
18th and 19th Century profile silhouettes. Maja Ganszyniec – ‘The Case of
the Pillows’
…Everyone I have ever cared for fell asleep… A
collection of objects that tell stories about the most silent members of the
hotel’s staff. Portraits of caring and attentive pillows, that work hard to
provide customers with the best service and more meaningful experience of
sleep. Tiago da Fonseca - Bedtime Stories
…she was
reading in bed, couldn’t tell what… Once upon a time there was a blanket. This blanket
had several sheets containing a traditional bedtime story. Each
"page" adds a layer of linen making you warmer (or cooler) and comfier
hopefully guiding you and your partner into a pleasant night’s sleep. Tiago
da Fonseca – I spy with my little eye...
…I look and
tell the stories of their lives… A curtain that lets you spy, with your little eye,
without being caught in the act. Gregor
Timlin – Chopper Light
…Eeeee – click, it moves, he moves… A remote
controlled light for entertaining guest in the waiting area. Alon Meron – Fat Bar
…We were connected, him and me. I miss him.
I feel it in my body… The
project dresses lounge furniture with a cover of fat, turning them into rude
objects in a space normally reserved for the polite and fashionable. Tithi Kutchamuch – My tea time
…nooooooooo 5 pm. I have been in front of TV
eating for the whole day… ‘My tea
time’ is a very simple tea menu and a way of serving it. Creating a precious experience
by bringing new environments and drinking suggestions. Christopher Raymond – Dream
Service
…They are stranded alone with the exception of
a familiar looking Alsatian, a way off on the opposite side of the valley,
looking back at them bemused but comfortingly… A ‘dream
service’ where guest choose from a menu of specific cheeses that induce and
stimulate certain types of dreams, served on a cheese board that helps you
sleep. Jochem
Faudet – a/o Carpet
…Where am I? I
don’t remember where I was going. Was I sleepwalking.… The a/o carpet changes the sounds of your footsteps
when you walk over it. Starting with expected sounds, the guest will discover
that the sound changes and builds up into an amazing experience by following
the path. Freddie
Yauner – Signs of Life
…Someone was
approaching… The corridors are long… I must be the only person on their own
in the building… We spend
our lives being directed by signage, but what do the signs get up to when
they are off duty? Reactive signage, giving a look into the lives of overworked
pictogram. Catherine
Greene – And nothing happened here
…The vase had
fallen over. He felt the blood rush to his face as the water poured rush to his
face as the water poured off the table staining the carpet and soaking his
shoes… Disaster
stricken tablecloths. Jordi
Canudas - ‘Less Light’
…One, two,
three, DROP!, one, tw-DROP!, one, two, three, fo-DROP!… A machine is dripping black paint on top of a
spherical lamp. The drips are turning around the centre and fall on top of
the lamp where they go down the sides, gradually shading the light. Raquel
Martins - ‘Seasons at The Great Eastern’
…the cat
didn’t really mind the changing of seasons… Unexpected indoor natural phenomenon. A
transposition of outside to inside, creating unpredicted spaces through
sound, volumes and movement. |
