I’ve lived in Islington for about 3 years now, over which time the high street has evolved. Predictably, the number of mini-supermarkets (a depressingly familiar oxymoron) has increased. But so has the number of craft shops. In a neat reflection on the ‘make do and mend’ attitude that follows any recession, savvy storeowners have spotted an opportunity for a new type of consumerism. Less buy, buy buy. More do, play, make.
Sunday was an exciting day for WOLO’s latest venture – the Honey Club. We had a stall at the Royal Festival Hall on London’s Southbank, taking part in the London Honey Festival alongside lots of other bee-keepers from in and around London. From 12-5pm, we were descended upon by enthusiastic honey-lovers, asking questions about our bees and the social enterprise. Turns out there’s a lot of bee keeping lingo we need to bone up on!
We’re excited to announce that we’re having an exhibition of work by our newest design talent Charlotte Coulais, Geetika Alok, Hiromi Suzuki & Jack Gilbey
The exhibition, called This, This, This and That, is on Wednesday 23rd February from 6.00pm - 9.30pm in our London studio. If you want to come along, email us at thisthisthisandthat@wolffolins.com and we’ll add you to the guest list.
