Ten Exhibition at 100% Design 2006 - Part 2 of 2 with Nina

100% Design in Earls Court in London is an annual festival to sell your products, and many aren't within the reach of the average consumer. And if they are, it is often because developing countries, mostly in the Far East, can produce the goods for a fraction of the cost of local suppliers at the detriment of the environment. Chris Jackson of Northwards (www.northwards-design.co.uk) came up with the ultimate contrast. He created the Ten Exhibition (www.tenexhibition.info) by asking ten designers to create whatever they wish as long as they spent less than ten pounds and sourced their materials no further away than ten kilometres. I talked to Chris alongside one of the designers, Nina Tolstrup of Studio Mama (www.studiomama.com), who made a chair, lamps, and stools out of some wooden palettes salvaged from the back of her high street in London.
