This is the logos for the new exciting design collaboration I am undertaking with one of the countries most exciting young fashion designers: Dan Mckinley (ursamajorlondon.tumblr.com). The first collection came from a night’s stroll through Deptford. Happening upon a discarded chair and finding a trestle in a skip we were filled with an urge to form them into objects of function and aesthetic value. The design references the heritage of our locale, south-east London: its maritime history, the impact of modernist architecture and the new life being breathed into the area by recent migrants to the area such as ourselves.
The streets of south-east London are littered with unwanted furniture and raw materials. mckinley+paget, fuelled by a desire to both preserve and renew the city we love, seek to take inspiration from these discarded items and create desirable, contemporary objects for living.
Look out for us, coming in 2013.
