Hasta La Ideas

London Design Festival 2010: designer Paul Cocksedge installed sheets of Corian as though fluttering around a hallway at the Victoria & Albert Museum in London for one day during the London Design Festival last week.

Called A Gust of Wind, the piece featured 300 curled pieces of Corian engraved with the words “Ideas Tray” and a series number.

At the end of the day they were given away to partners of the project and members of the public for use as paper trays.

A GUST OF WIND – An installation by Paul Cocksedge Studio for the London Design Festival.

24th September 2010 18:30-22h:00 London Design Festival V&A, Friday Late Event

Three hundred curvaceous pieces of Corian® will be exhibited for one day only as part of the V&A’s Friday Late Programme. The ‘pages’, which will be given away during the event, represent a stack of paper that has been blown into the air by a gust of wind. Each of these limited edition pieces is engraved and then handmade by Paul Cocksedge. They will function as paper trays, becoming a place for wandering paper to gather.

This installation is made possible through collaboration with the London Design Festival, V&A and DuPontTM Corian®.
