Among the many exhibitors and booths, you can find new work by longtime friend of Inventory, and Issue 10 cover subject, Dean Edmonds. The London-based designer will be showcasing a new lamp design, in two colourways, as part of a group of offerings from Atelier de Troupe – a lighting and furniture studio based in Los Angeles. Details reagrding the show can be found to the left, while a little more about each element can be learned from the links below.

Dean Edmonds Stacking Stool

Words

A new, sleek addition to the Bermuda Trips website, these stacking stools from Dean Edmonds offer a simple, and let's face it, elegant solution to those of us who are short a few chairs, or have more friends coming over than we can comfortably handle. As a quite unlikable person, this isn't something I have a problem with myself, but I'm sure plenty of others out there actually socialize now and again. With an abundance of naturally coloured, teak-centric pieces seemingly in every house, flat or apartment you visit, these all black stools certainly appeal.

Words

Dean Edmonds will be presenting a series of new pieces in an exhibition set to celebrate the opening of the new Momosan Shop on Wilton Way. With a private viewing on October 30th, the works in the show are split between two locations – J. Glinert and their new neighbours – and offer an experiment in steel and a homage to the string chair. Dean himself says that "using an all steel construction the string has become a structural element in turn reducing the structure itself." While the work may appear somewhat brutal on first viewing, Dean's aim is for the structure to "show the beauty and fragility that steel can possess much like the string of the chair that was at first the inspiration." The exhibition will be a great opportunity to view the London-based designer's work in the flesh, while the new Momosan Shop will offer a range of homewares, design objects, printed matter and accessories.
