Neville Brody called me the other day and asked if I wanted to be part of the Anti Design festival, I said yes.
These are my pages from the book that accompanies the UK?OK!! exhibition at the Parco Factory, Tokyo.
This is my abandoned studio.
Kav teaching the girls the London stroll (more…)
We asked the Future Predictors their all-time favourite track ( we got a few extra tracks aswell) and played them on the Jukebox.
Of course mine is Chantilly Lace.
Alicia’s— Xanadu — ELO featuring Olivia Newton John. Luke’s — I Fought the Law — Clash version.
The Games Room Company loaned us the jukeboxes.
Read more for predictor’s favourite tracks.

Convex Mirror by Sebastian Wrong for Established and Sons chosen by Ben Evans. Tom Dixon lights chosen by Tom Dyckoff.
We wanted to make the exhibition out of the exhibits and so I scoured through the list to see what could be useful to build the exhibition. Yellow pages predicted by Stephen Bayley, The Guardian by Tim Molloy and Simon Esterson, Incandescent lights by Jason Bruges — that’s the ceiling, lighting and plinths covered. Thanks to Hannah Morgan’s great hard work at Goodwood we managed to get all the exhibits even the Electric Smart Car chosen by Shan Preddy. Also thanks to all the companies who gave us all the products for the show.
Another big thank you to Jake, Laura and the amazing group of volunteers who strung the 40 wires across the room and stapled each yellow page individually to the wires with Alicia and I.
Morag
What makes something Vintage? What will be Culturally valuable in the Year 2035? We asked some people from the worlds of tv, culture, design, music, business and science what they think will become vintage in the year 2035.
(Prediction — yellow pages /Predictor — Stephen Bayley. Day 3 of the festival — Mason on the well used/ rather lumpy yellow pages arm chair)
(Prediction — Big Brother /Predictor — Luke Morgan. The chair was so popular everybody wanted their pic taken sitting in it and lots of people liked to pose!)
A huge thank you to all the predictors. Read more to see who and what was predicted.
Curated by Morag, Alicia and Wayne Hemingway.
I will do a full explaination of Future Vintage shortly, just wanted to show some pics of my graphics on the outside.
To build the Vintage festival we hired and reclaimed as much as we could. We were very lucky and a Secondary School in Bognor was emptying the whole school of all its furniture infact everything it had and we all went down and got as many things as we could that were then customised all around the site and will be used next year too.
These are the art café chairs hand-cut stencils and hand sprayed — like my ’sitting’ series of stools for the Deptford Project — this time it is the first names of the artists whose work was showing in the art café and the names of the designers and curators involved plus a few random words.
The old school tables used in the cafe, it was incedible how much chewing gum we found stuck to the underside of the tables. We made amazing canvases of Sir Peter Blakes work thanks to Pallant House
All the seating and the screen for the outdoor Silent Cinema at The Deptford Project are made by the designers and artists working in the arches on the site. Here is Zoe from Crafty Bitches making the cushions for the seats. Tickets are on sale now from The Deptford Project’s website here.
Over the few days of vintage I managed to accumulate quite a few bracelets and badges, each one taking me into another inner sanctom.
Morag
A big thank you to Michael Czerwinski from the Design Museum who made it possible for us and organised a Pecha Kucha at Vintage. I was meant to be doing one but sorting out all the design and build of the festival with Gerardine Hemingway and Family, Kathrine Sandys and the Goodwood team slightly took its toll and I had run out of steam to do a presentation aswell. But anyway I was not needed as we had a great line-up of 8 speakers, most of the speakers were also Future Vintage Predictors, which I will elaborate upon shortly.
The subject of the Pecha Kucha — I bet you can’t guess?? was…….VINTAGE!
Kevin McCloud — designer, writer and television presenter
Jason Bruges — architect, artist and designer
Matthew Hilton — Leading British furniture designer
Andrea Siodmok —Programme director of Dott Cornwall
Vanessa Biad — Interior designer
Tim Ryan — head of marketing at EMI
David Rowan — editor of Wired UK
Zoe Papadopoulou — Artist and Designer
The image shows part of Zoe’s presentation about The Cloud Project — here Zoe and Liz are making ice cream instantly from yoghurt using liquid nitrogen, it went down a storm.
Another big thank you to all the speakers for giving us their time and taking part in the very first Vintage, the Design element of the festival has started small but hopefully we will expand next year.

After all our hard work the festival has come and gone. We have been living a vintage life for a few days pre computers. So over the next few days, Luke and I will be writing and showing you things that happened over 3 days of the festival. The most important thing is that it was a great success!
Seeing the highstreet populated was very exciting.
Morag
(more…)
It is Tuesday morning 6.30am, our last 3 days of the build! Getting very exciting and looking really great. This is a quick snapshot of the High Street, there was great press coverage yesterday and it is all hotting up here. You still have time to get your tickets for Vintage.
A glimpse of Future Vintage, now the outside is done we are building the inside today.
Luke is driving up today and will be transforming his TIKI bar in LET IT ROCK over the next couple of days. Have read about what he is up to his 50’s venue.

In September we’re doing our own version of London outdoor cinema at The Deptford Project. Carlos and Joe have designed the seating from old palettes. This is them trying out ideas. The textile designers in one of the arches are making cushions from vintage fabrics. We’re doing Silent Cinema – where you sit like on a plane, watching the film through headphones, soaking up the atmosphere of being in a crowd outside on a warm evening without any of the unwanted noise. We’re having an 80’s weekend (Breakfast Club), Horror (American Werewolf) and Cult (Clockwork Orange).
In 2014, Morag will do a talk as part of the Talking Interiors public lecture programme.
