Visual textures and pulses combine with floor vibrations in Louder, designer Sharona Merlin's pair of speakers for the deaf and hard of hearing. Part of Human.Touch, Israel's entry at @london_design_biennale #LDB16 Saudi Arabia's Water Machine at @london_design_biennale is a giant gumball machine that dispenses hard plastic globes of water. Designed by Basma and Noura Bouzo, the installation is commentary on water as an increasingly scarce resource as well as the wasteful packaging of bottled water. #LDB16 For the Wish Machine, Turkish multi-disciplinary studio Autoban filled a mirrored room with a hexagon of transparent pneumatic tubes. Visitors are invited to write a message of hope for the future on paper, which is then placed in a closed capsule. The capsule is then put in the pneumatic tubes and swiftly spirited away through the halls of the West Wing of Somerset House. The final destination is a mystery. The designers were inspired by the current migration crisis, in which Turkey plays a crucial role, as the land bridge between Europe and the Middle East. The Wish Machine, a contemporary take on a wishing tree, is meant to evoke both the uncertainty of migrants' journeys and the importance of maintaining hope in difficult circumstances. Turkey's entry in the first @london_design_biennale #LDB16
Design Diorama: The Archive as a Utopic Environment is The Netherlands' entry at @london_design_biennale. An entire room is constructed of the kind of blue foam used for model making. All the objects inside are based on real objects belonging to Studio Makkink & Bey. The diorama explores the nature of contemporary archiving, with physical representations of real objects but also an accompanying digital archive. #LDB16 The Plastic Effects series by Australian designer Brodie Neill repurposes tiny pieces of plastic, once ocean debris, into a terrazzo-like composite. The material is inlaid in a kaleidoscopic pattern for the Gyro table, on show at @london_design_biennale #ldb16 Beautiful #LondonSummer evening at #DalstonYard @streetfeastldn complete with festive paper cups #Dalston
