One of the best snaps found whilst clearing my family home. My Nan at Christmas time in the 1980’s. I think my sister Gillian must have been the person to have got the balloons. #balloonsnotbombs

It’s the last day of Japan: Myths to Manga at @young.vam today. Can’t believe I haven’t posted before. I loved working on the 2d design with team @sambrowndesign @studiozna @barba.nass @honorgrace_ @evonnemackenzie and Anna Stamper who painted the scenic painted walls. Juri Nishi 3d design and the exhibition managers and curators and all that are too many to mention. Photography by the brilliant @angus_mill not so easy to shoot in 50 lux museum conditions but you did a great job

You can still see this little gem, Tasman road, Figure 2, 2008, in the Hintze gallery at V&A South Kensington. This is by Thomas J Price and it was part of a larger display of his works no longer on display, which I miss greatly in the museum. 1. Tasman road, Figure 2, 2008 2. Typeface for the interpretation is called Replica, by @lineto_com the name of the type is interesting in light of how Thomas creates his sculptures, they start out as being nothing but replicas, all unique and an amalgam of a person 3 + 4. The type is drawn with no right angles 5. Shifting Votive three, 2016 6. Moments contained, 2022 7. Interpretation panel in steel and screen printed 8. Moments contained, 2022 A rewarding project to work on especially with @mvandenbrouck @sambrowndesign and of course @thomasjprice__ Images courtesy of Thomas J Price and taken by Mishko Papic and Thomas Adank

This gives me great pleasure everyday. Our very own @instamarriott2.0 toilet roll holder. Made of one piece of metal and twisted in all the right places. Just perfect. 😊 #toiletrollholder #brilliantdesign

This time 2 years ago we were installing the Fabergé exhibition. We designed a carpet for the Fabergé eggs finale space, it had a suspended mirrored ceiling. It had a wonderful sound piece made by @father_insta which made the space feel like you were stepping into a jewellery box During intense Covid restrictions I kinda blocked out this install which did have some special moments.
