CultureLabel partner Designersblock are embarking upon a very exciting adventure in anticipation of the world’s most important furniture fair; Fuori Salone 2010. From 30th March to April 5th, ten designers will be exchanging their city studios for a woodland workshop in deepest Herefordshire. The designers will be working with country chair-maker Gudrun Leitz to create original greenwood chairs without the aid of computers, machinery or electricity. This is a genuine back to basics mission and the chairs will be created according to the strict traditions of the craft using original equipment such as pole lathes, steam benders and hand tools. The 10 chairs plus a chair of Gudrun’s will be exhibited with Designersblock at Spazio Revel, Milan, during the Milan Furniture Fair which takes place 14th – 19th April 2010. The intrepid designers taking part in the venture are; Amos Marchant, Carl Clerkin, Chris Eckersley, Dave Green, Gareth Neal, Gitta Gschwendtner, Matthew Hilton, Rory Dodd, Suzanne Barnes, William Warren. This group of the UK’s finest designers are all set and ready to bodge next month so keep an eye out for the finished designs. www.verydesignersblock.com
