SE 2011 – 30 Years! Exhibition
SE is coming of age – 30 rich and eventful summers have gone by, and that calls for celebration!
For this years SE Autumn Exhibition the theme is giving a gift,Gifting, as it is SE’s 30 year anniversary. From this theme I have worked on the community action of giving a goat instead of a gift. I have asked myself what could be the furniture equivalent of donating a goat to a third party. I have worked with Københavns MøbelSnedkeri and the result is a Goat of a Gift, consisting of Goat as well as a Kid offspring. This Goat and Kid can be seen at Designmuseum Danmark, 68 Bredgade in Copenhagen.
Dates / 13-30 October 2011. Hours / Tuesday through Sunday 11 – 17 / Mondays closed
We Love Freedom
A project utilising local skills, pride & passion. By Jeremy Walton. (Københavns Møbelsnedkeri & Mai-Britt Eschen) 2010
Made with Corian, Wool, Old Woollen Jumpers, Pride & Passion. As part the SE 2010 WHITE OUT exhibition.
I’ll cover the longer story behind the chair below, the most important thing about the project for me, was asking if the pride and passion of the local needle felting artisan can be utilised in the process of furniture making? Can local hobby artists be utilised by larger industry? The result of the project is a time consuming Zen like process of drilling holes and then pulling loops of wool through them, followed by the freedom to sculpt wool.
Utilitarian Veneer
Design by Jeremy Walton, 2008. developed together with København Møbelsnedkeri.
Designed as part of the GlobalMadeLocal project and exhibited at SE Fifty fifty.
The unit consists of four open shelves and one drawer unit. The unit has a public facade, consisting of a thick veneer of wood. The unit also has a private side where the facade is no longer necessary and the thick (very thick) veneer comes off and acts as a utilitarian object, a pair of step ladders.
Shelving Beams
Design by Jeremy Walton, 2008. Developed together with København Møbelsnedkeri.
Designed as part of the GlobalMadeLocal project and exhibited at SE Fifty fifty.
From the larger area of the room the beams look to be rough beams, while on the inner sides the beams is open shelving suitable for books, compact discs and ornaments. The beams are quirky sculptural elements that play with the charm of architectural elements normally found in old buildings, while having a functional use and utilising overhead space in a non-heavy practical way.
Islands Brygge the Manhatten of Copenhagen.
Around the globe in 80 chairs, by Jeremy Walton.
GlobalMadeLocal Reaches Islands Brygge.
Islands Brygge has often been referred to as the Manhattan of Copenhagen. It is the home of Københavns MøbelSnedkeri, situated in a road that is probably the last outpost of inner city industry in the area. The lease is short, but while it lasts, the small overlooked road is a charming blot on the landscape of polished glass office buildings and flats that don’t just have parking facilities for cars, but for boats as well.
