What with 100% Design and our book for Project Orange, it has been a busy summer. But that hasn't stopped Junko once again working with 100% Norway - the third year she has been involved with this prestigious project.

Held at 100% Design, the 100% Norway stand showcases both emerging and established Norwegian designers. Junko worked with curators Henrietta Thompson (Wallpaper* design & arts editor) and Benedicte Sunde (Norwegian Centre for Design and Architecture). The exhibition was organised by the Royal Norwegian Embassy in London, working with the Norwegian Design Council, Innovation Norway and Norsk Industri.

Junko was responsible for designing and producing a range of different materials for this year's event. These included the show catalogue, invitation to the official launch party, information labels used as part of the exhibition design and press bag.

Ordnance Survey maps provide 100% Inspiration

gSDIM0388

I have been asked to provide content for the forthcoming 100% Inspiration installation at this year's 100% Design London exhibition. Curated by JAM, the installation looks at British sources of inspiration. Members of the 100% Design selection panel have each been asked to come up with something that represents the show to them.

Ordnance Survey Explorer Maps were picked because of their information-rich, highly efficient piece of navigational design - which can also double up as an umbrella in a rainstorm. I think the orange cover is pretty sexy too, and certainly is uplifting on a rainy day. They just need to commission some better photos for the covers!

This particular map was picked for the photo simply because it was at the top of a very big pile, which not only provides a useful way of finding your way from A to B but is also a memory bank of some of the amazing places around the UK that I've visited over recent years. Arundel was the subject of a minibreak earlier this year, with a fantastic walk with the Knit Nurse through Arundel Castle park and along the Arun valley.

Catalogue Three for Project Orange nears completion



Junko and I are hard at work on the finishing touches for Catalogue 3, a new publication for architecture/interiors practice Project Orange. Here Junko can be seen working on a running order for the images. Working closely with Project Orange, we have curated the project. It is the third in a series of publications produced by the practice which showcase their work in different ways. Our concept for Catalogue 3 is of a catalogue for an exhibition of 50 photographs of their recent work. The book is due to be launched in early September.
