Awesome news!! THING just got word that we have been selected to participate in the Anti-Design-Festival in London from September 19-26. Read more about it on the D&AD blog here. I will be coming out just in time to catch the last few days of the show.

We are happy to announce that THING has just submitted work for the ANTI-DESIGN FESTIVAL in London. Here is a description:

“The Anti-Design Festival is a new event that wlll run parallel with and in opposition to the London Design Festival, promoting work that “challenges contemporary stereotypes.” For Neville Brody, the organizer of the fair this means being “uncommercial, dangerous and anti-establishement,” and, apparently exhibiting alongside people like Jonathan Barnbrook, Stuart Semple and Stefan Sagmeister. Though we aren’t sure you have to be anti-commercial to be radical, we’re looking forward to seeing the results.”

Serpentine Gallery Pavilion 2010
by Jean Nouvel
10 July – 17 October 2010
Now open

Now through October 17th, you can visit London’s Kensington Gardens to see French architect Jean Nouvel’s design of the Serpentine Gallery’s 10th commission for their annual summer pavilion. Aside from being red and amazing to look at, there’s a crop of fun inside, including bar stools with bicycle pedals, ping-pong tables, chess and backgammon sets, and plenty of lounge areas. This year also marks the Serpentine’s 40th Anniversary. Admission to the Pavilion is free.

We are happy to announce that THING will be participating in this years Renegade Craft Fair, which will be held at the Los Angeles State Historic Park in late July. We have been working on some pretty awesome side projects and are super excited to soon finish and share with all of our THING peeps. We will be showcasing alongside some great indie designers and craft talented folks.  More details soon, but in the meantime don’t forget to wear SPF 40, drink water, and enjoy the beautiful summer days!
