Line Drawings 0007
Design by Claus Bjerre, Ditte Hammerstrøm and Jeremy Walton. 2006.
Honey I’m Home exhibition, Danish Design Centre, 2006.
Within a room, a three sided technical drawing of a chair and ceiling lamp is laid out on the side walls and the back wall using hooks. String is then used to draw within the space and the possibilities laidout by the original 2d drawing. A drawing of a chair forms where different peoples lines commonly overlap, it is hard to avoid. The overall drawing can support the weight of several people.
Hurrah and one for luck
Design by Jeremy Walton, 2006. Frederiksberg Gardens and The Palaces and Properties agency.
Designed and made for SE 2006 ‘Vennelyst’,
‘Inspired by an appreciation of real Danish life, the humour and personality of the people in Denmark. The ‘Hygge’ in birthdays, family gatherings and raising the flag. The dinner speeches and flag waving. The shorts and the long one at the end.’
For Family, friends and colleagues. For summer.
Line Drawings 0004 to 0006
Design by Claus Bjerre, Ditte Hammerstrøm and Jeremy Walton. 2005.
Plain MDF boxes with dowel pins protruding from the sides. The dowel pins are laid out to represent an archetype of a chair, standing lamp, and table. String is left attached initially to each piece. During the exhibition people drew on the pieces with the string. Each person leaving their own mark, filling in, making patterns, random tying, etc. One person would respond to another, creating often predictable ‘I am going to do something different’ or surprising details of concentration and commitment.
Mundane Grand
Design by Jeremy Walton 2004
Design and made especially for the SE 2004 – Furniture Haute Couture Exhibition at Danish Design Centre, Copenhagen and Vandalorum Art museum, Smålands Sweden.
A chest of drawers. ‘Memorable. I want this chest of drawers to be what no other chest of drawers has ever been before. I want the concept of the furniture to be what lifts the design into the realm of Furniture Hauteur couture, if this is possible.
If Chests of drawers had dreams this is what they would dream to be.’
The Fake Dane Collection
A Design process by Jeremy Walton 2004
A slowly expanding collection of objects made using a designed process, where locally found furniture parts (urban drift wood) get used to determine variable end results.
Each item is individually numbered. The collection is on going and the initial collection of 01 to 60 will be presented at MM gallery Copenhagen in 2005. Selected items are part of the Lauritz Passion day Aution 2005.
Shelf Portraits
Design by Claus Bjerre, Ditte Hammerstrøm and Jeremy Walton. 2004.
Ten people were invited to give a selection of objects from their lofts or cellars storage, in exchange for a nominal payment, of about £15. The objects were to fit a shelf 1 meter long, 28 cm high and 15 cm in depth.
These objects were wrapped together with and onto the shelf, creating a shelf as a new object. The form is predicted by the person, the object becomes a portrait of the person.
The Bench Is Yours III
Design by Claus Bjerre, Ditte Hammerstrøm and Jeremy Walton. 2003.
The organisers of Glentavej Plads felt the ‘Bench is yours’ concept fitted their park project and commissioned the starting block to be placed in the park. The local residents built the bench further.
Built at Glentavejplads, Nørrebro, Copenhagen

The bench is yours II
Design by Claus Bjerre, Ditte Hammerstrøm and Jeremy Walton. 2002.
Starting with an archetypal chair form, waste and found wood is added on to the bench following the archetype of a basic chair, needing legs, seat and back. Any one can add to the bench with the waste wood. It is a democratic project that cannot be designed in advance. We create the base, there after it is up to the people that use the park to continue where the last person stopped.
