Selling Out | 1997

Arash tried to put the Royal College of Art up for sale.

Serious offers were made for the building. Winkworth complained.

Arash was asked to take the sign down.

Exhibition stand | 2002

London College of Fashion

We were asked to design a free standing display stand to present the theses, magazines and other written material produced by the graduating students.

The system comes flat pack and is slotted together to form a framework on which specially designed book holders hang from, allowing the books and magazines to be displayed upright for maximum impact.

The horizontal curves form private and intimate reading areas whilst the openness of the structure as a whole cuts through the space without completely blocking off views to other exhibits.

Picture Pairs | 2003

The Village Fete at the V&A

Curators: Scarlet Projects

Paintings with their identical twin are placed (back to front so that they are hidden from view) randomly on the table. The aim of the game is to choose two paintings, at which point they are turned around. If the paintings match then you get to keep the paintings. If they don't match you don't get to keep the paintings! As simple as that!

Kelly used the theme of designer shoes to create painting pairs.

Contributing Artists: Jonny Blaker, Sarah Sikuade.

Arash and Kelly first got involved for the Village Fete concept at the V&A in 2002 where they won Best in Show as well as being involved in 2003, 2004 and 2006.

Jonny Blaker, pictured right used the theme of Hawaiian shirts to create painting pairs for the event.

New Model Army | 2006

University of Bolzano, Italy

A workshop, showing the students the use of PePaKuRa software in creating paper patterns for their 3D projects.

In the first session, they downloaded the robot example on the PePaKuRa website and printed out the patterns all cut out and glued together.

Each student made their own unique little paper Robot.

 

In the second session, the students worked together and scaled up the robot.In the second session, the students worked together and scaled up the robot.

Milan Fair | 2004

Ingo Maurer and Royal College of Art at the Krizia.

6 students from the Design Products department created new designs from Tom Vac chairs supplied to them by Vitra.

They had 2 weeks, and Ford kindly donated a Transit for them to ship the work out to Milan themselves.

The six projects were made by:

Thomas Urban Gardner, Jason Iftakhar, Jeong Tae Kang, Julie Mathias, Pieke Bergmans and Hisao Sato

Picture to the left shows Hisao Sato's beautiful interlocking Tom Vacs.

Picture on the right is Thomas Urban Gardner's dragster Tom Vacs.

Jason Iftakhar chose scalextrix as his theme as he joined two Tom Vacs to create his track for racing.

Vitra Workshop | 2002

Summer Workshop at Boisbuchet

One week workshop with students from the Pratt Institute, New York.

We set them a brief called "NIGHT FEVER" where they had to create objects, structures, environments and installations that came alive at night time.

Pipes projection

Outdoor light projection using the pipes screensaver to create a 3D environment which snaked around the grass and up trees.

Sunset in a box

From a 50cm cube protototype to the 1.5m cube, it was towed out into the middle of the lake by a two canoe team. The fire inside was set alight and the cube appeared to be floating in the night sky!

The workshop turned out to be character forming for all of us and a life changing experience for some - especially Aimer
