Made For Make
Posted by: Rose Brown on 16th Apr 2010 in Keechdesign News
If you are not yet familiar with Make Architects now is the time to seek them out. These are the new cool kids on the block and although a relatively young company (since 2004) they have been involved in a number of cutting edge schemes that are transforming London, the UK, and Asia. Their talent lies in creating architecture that is modest, but also spectacular. This balance and subtlety is being nurtured under the directive of company founder Ken Shuttleworth, already famous for his work at Foster & Partners, and particularly of 'The Gherkin' fame. There is a bravery in Make’s designs, and at such early days these architects are definitely ones to watch.

The SX-70 Polaroid Camera: What happens when there is no longer a market for a design classic?
By Rose Brown
It has been a year since Polaroid ceased all production related to the iconic instant camera and film. This end to the Polaroid photograph is a reminder that although a classic, loved by one and all, it is ultimately a product, whose longevity is dictated by supply and demand. This is a reality that we as consumers, designers and design enthusiasts should be prepared for as technology continues to evolve, saturate and overwhelm the marketplace with temporary, cheap, design solutions. I wonder, can we still create classic design, or rather is there still a market for it?

Design Jean-ius
by Sarah Thornhill
From baggy to bell-bottomed, skinny to slim, capris to carpenter; whatever your personal style, occupation or age, a pair of jeans will be the most faithful design classic you ever own.
Simultaneously historic (originally made in the Renaissance as utilitarian ‘all purpose pants’ in Turin), always symbolic of their era (think the ‘Rebel Without a Cause’ youth rebellion they characterised in 1950s America, or the skin-tight drainpipes that signified you were a true British mod in the swinging 60s); jeans are the ultimate in eternally modern design.
