Pour sa 10e édition, le festival Electric Picnic présente une vidéo de présentation, réalisée par Will Armstrong et produite par « Films Antidote », qui imagine pour l’occasion le parcours d’une jeune femme dans son premier festival. Un superbe travail à découvrir en vidéo et en images dans la suite de l’article.
Pour l’artiste torontois Peter Schafrick, le liquide en mouvement révèle la « vitalité cachée » des objets. Preuve en est sa série « Toys », qui présente des jouets en rotation imbibés de peinture. Les fils de couleurs qui s’en détachent semblent alors être un extension de l’objet amplifiant le mouvement à l’extrême.
Following the success of our digital map-based guides to London Design Festival 2012 and Milan Design Week 2013, we’re creating an even better version for this year’s LDF – so if you’re exhibiting or organising an event and want to be included FREE, drop us a line!
The map will be published on Dezeen just before the festival, which takes place across London from 14 to 22 September. This year we’re integrating it with our World Design Guide – the world’s first and only guide to all the best architecture and design events around the world.
Last year’s map of London Design Festival was an astonishing success. It has been viewed over 800,000 times, making it by far the most popular guide to festival events.
To be considered for FREE inclusion in our guide, please submit details of your event to hello@worlddesignguide.com with “London Design Festival 2013” in the subject line. Please include the event name, venue, address, dates, opening times and website, plus a description and images.

One of the greatest phenomena that every design student witnesses in the midst of their education (particularly if they go to school on the east coast) is the mass migration to New York City—or any major metropolis—around May for summer internship season. The flurry of applications and interviews for summer temp positions is a race with which most are all too familiar. As me and my design school cohorts approach the midway point in our respective internship positions—it’s just the right time to question the value and implications of unpaid and paid temporary employment.
In the last few years, a serious debate has emerged over the state of creative internships. Everything from lawsuits to public pouting has fueled a conversation as to whether creative internships are in fact a strength or detriment to our industry as a whole. Since we’ve already done away with old-fashioned design apprenticeships, a young designer can’t help but ask: where the heck are we supposed to get real world experience?
Enter Intern magazine: a UK-based magazine, currently seeking funding on Kickstarter, looks to break open the often overlooked discussion about creative internships. With the tag line “Intern Magazine: Meet the Talent, Join the Debate,” we can only expect that they will be adding some much needed perspective to a conversation that has, to date, been lacking a voice for its most affected demographic: the recent and current creative interns.
As a self-identifying creative internship expert (and current Core77 Editorial Intern), I spoke with the Editor in Chief of Intern Magazine Alec Dudson about their Edition Zero and plans for the future via Kickstarter.
Core77: So what does the path to publishing a magazine look like? Where did the inspiration come from?
Alec Dudson: I guess the path to launching a print magazine began in January 2011. I had spent two months traveling and photographing the USA after completing my Masters degree in Sociology and upon returning, got approached by a friend to join him in starting a website with a couple of other guys. Initially, I figured it would just be a means of disseminating my photographs and maybe having a go at writing some photo essays, it turned out though, that I had stumbled across a passion. As the year progressed, more and more of my free time outside my bar job was becoming dedicated to the site and I was taking far more of an editorial role, using it as a showcase for others rather than myself. After the friend who invited me to the project began working some pretty awesome internships, I too decided to try and turn this ‘hobby’ into a career.
Why a print magazine and not a blog or different journalistic endeavor?
Having released one print edition of the website, my appetite was very much whet for print media—online stuff is fine but I love the tactile nature of magazines, the texture, the inks even the smell. That was reflected in the places I interned (Domus & Boat) who both have a strong on-line presence but whose jewel in the crown is their beautiful print editions. That side of it really drew me in to the creative industries as well, and as I spent time around designers and photographers, it struck me that a print project was always going to resonate more with this community due to its qualities as an artifact.

Designer George Sully and sneaker aficionado Henry Wong describe their Toronto-based brand, Sully Wong, as “a North American/Asian culture clash brought to you in a form of a sneaker.” Add to that cross-cultural rumpus the distinctive shapes and jazzy brights favored by Karim Rashid and the result is a sneaker-cum-desert boot that resembles a pair of Keds that stayed too long at the circus. The limited-edition Karim for Sully Wong shoes, which make their official debut at next month’s Magic trade show in Las Vegas and hit stores early next year for $299 per pop pair, will be available in four prints in eight colors, including Rashid’s preferred pink. Pictured here is the Kromo print in “kool blue,” which just happens to be a perfect match for Duchess Kate‘s post-baby Jenny Packham frock.

London firm Paul Crofts Studio has completed a bakery on a high street in Suffolk, UK, with a motif based on a magpie’s nest set into the douglas fir serving counter.
The Two Magpies Bakery in Southwold produces fresh bread and patisserie at the back of the shop every day and the kitchen can be seen through a window onto the seating area.
“The space is made up of a series of bespoke elements made from douglas fir finished in white lye, creating clean lines with a contemporary feel and a pared-back canvas on which to display the highly crafted products on sale,” said Paul Crofts Studio.
The birds-nest motif was created by illustrator Katharine Gorham and picked out in white resin. It’s repeated on the opposite side of the shop with criss-crossing white dowels supporting long shelves above the seating area, where a silver ring entangled in the sticks references the collecting habits of magpies.
White timber dowels also protrude from the wall behind the counter to accommodate a series of bespoke wooden serving boards, as well as alongside the window where they provide perches for displaying loaves to passersby.
“Warm wood, clean white detailing and a high level of craftsmanship combine to create an intimate and relaxed setting in which to enjoy the exceptional food on offer,” the studio added.
The rear wall of the shop is clad in overlapping wooden shingles in shades of grey and tables in the seating area have their legs dipped in black.
Cardboard luggage labels tied with string present information and pricing on the produce and the seasonal menu can be written on a brown paper roll hanging next to a blackboard behind the serving counter.
Paul Crofts Studio has previously completed a crêperie in west London with gingham and lace patterns screen-printed onto the tabletops.
