‘SHOP’ at Her House Gallery in Hoxton is an exhibition by Vicky Thornton and Morag Myerscough comprising two parts: a collection of hand made ceramics and seat cushions by architect Thornton and artist/designer Myerscough’s personal chair collection. The exhibition will also see the launch of a new product in Myerscough’s Her House collection.

Architect, writer and illustrator, Vicky Thornton’s latest project is a collection of seat pads. Thornton has upcycled her growing collection of 50s and 60s vintage textiles and also used them as inspiration for a collection of her own print designs, re-interpreting images from contemporary life like the i-pod and takeaway coffee cup and printing them in bright, bold colour designs.

Designed by Duffy London, the Shadow Chair was first launched at the Milan Salone Satellite in April 2009 with Hidden Art. At first glance it is a simple wooden chair that seems to defy gravity by standing upright while only having two front legs, but on closer inspection the shadow is made from steel and is attached to a metal frame built inside the chair. The Shadow Chair is available in a number of finishes and the wood is from Forest Stewardship Council managed forests and other controlled sources.
It’s available to buy now from CultureLabel
