If you happen to be around the Oxford Circus area of town do go and have a look at the Republic of Fritz Hansen. We just so happened to be passing by and, well, wow, what an incredibly interesting place filled with the best of Scandinavian design. Even more interesting is that this brand have joined forces with makecreate to launch an Artists in Residence programme which will see a selection of designers and artists using their store windows as a temporary studio space. Amongst the artists in residence are Celia Smith, Makala Djorup, Peter Gura, Liam Richardson, SmithMatthias and Hayley Steadman to name just a few. So do swing by their store on Margaret st and take a look at this incredible installation. Collaborations are clearly one of the key trends happening around town right now.
