INTRODUCING PLATFORM8 at DESIGN MAI 06
12 students from the royal college of art in London. Representing a range of cultural backgrounds, which contributes to a diverse design approach, platform 8 look for alternatives to design as we know it, questioning the role it can play in society.
From common experiences of living and exploring the metropolis of London and amidst the hectic pace of the city they have discovered the informality of the car boot sale. A place with a variety of people and objects. A weekly event to gather together, polystyrene cups of coffee in hand, and bargain over an eclectic collection of products. A coming together as an alternative to the highstreet. At DESIGN MAI they present CAR BOOT SALE.
