Neo Tramp Art – misconceptions become truths.
An open event at SoupaNatural by Jeremy Walton, Thursday the 26th of March 2009
The Jungle will be at: SoupaNatural.Guldbergsgade 7a. near Skt. Hans torv, opposite Rust. Making commences from 9am and aims to be finished and hung up before 6pm.
I shall be making Neo Tramp Art, a lampshade following the soul and ideology of the 19th Century Tramp Art phenomenon. Using commonly found and readily available tools and materials, combined with self invented techniques, I shall be making design creations that rejoice commitment more than perfection.
A Making & A Do.
A definition in progress by Jeremy Walton. 2009
To invite some friends around and lay on some sort of appropriate hospitality, such as brunch, lunch or dinner, suitable to the time of day and worthy of the task in hand. Besides everyone lending a helping hand with food preparation, everyone collaborates in a spot of Do-It-Yourself.

Allerød Slant chair
Design by Jeremy Walton, 2008. Developed together with PP Møbler
Designed as part of the GlobalMadeLocal project and exhibited at SE Fifty fifty.
The Allerød Slant stacking chair is a solid wood chair, designed for single unit production. Developed for the GlobalMadeLocal project. All the angles for a stacking chair that can be made by local cabinetmakers, on a commission.
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.
About Global Made Local
A concept in progress by Jeremy Walton 2008.
GlobalMade Local is a concept, or a working theory, that developed through a 50/50 collaboration between Jeremy Walton and the cabinetmakers at PP møbler for the SE 2008 Fifty Fifty exhibition. The ideology is still in progress, slowly.
If you like the idea of it, or would like to be a part of it, get in touch for further information.
What is GlobalMadeLocal?
GlobalMadeLocal is a global furniture collection that is made locally. It is a community of cabinetmakers (and designers) that share design knowledge to form a global collection of furniture pieces. The GlobalMadeLocal Collection stems from the collaboration of designers and cabinetmakers from all over the world. The final production of each piece is made locally to the customer who is commissioning the piece, irrespective of where the piece was originally developed.
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.
