Kitchen & Bathroom Issue

Kitchens and bathrooms are, arguably, the most consequential rooms in the home — and almost always the first to be considered. Whether approached through renovation or new build, their design has the power to recalibrate how a home is lived in and experienced. For this issue, our guest editor, Mardi Doherty, principal of Studio Doherty, explores what it truly means to transform these pivotal spaces — and why thoughtful design in kitchens and bathrooms delivers dividends far beyond the purely functional. Her insights both as an architect and as her own client give an open and honest account of the thinking behind creating a home.

Bespunk at Workshopped

Australia

A fun new exhibition at Workshopped will give you the opportunity to have your own items ‘Spunked’ by Dr Spunk.

Giving new life to forgotten things, the Bespunk exhibition at Workshopped will feature furniture and other objects re-imagined in black.

 

 

It sounds like a bit of a crazy idea, but Dr Spunk (AKA Alexander Lotersztain) has coated the objects in a (very scientific and technical-sounding) polymer, which offers tear-strength resistance and waterproofing qualities.

 

 

 

So, with items like garden chairs, and sofas on show, and all in black, it already sounds like something awesome to get along to – but wait, there’s more!

The team at Workshopped tell us you can bring your old, tired items in to Workshopped to be Bespunk’d. They’ll ship it off to Dr Spunk and you’ll get it back with a new and exciting look.

Alternatively, you can ask for a particular item to be Bespunk’d and Workshopped will source the item for you.

Things that can be Bespunk’d:

  • wood
  • metal
  • vinyl
  • plastic if treated or old
  • leather
  • cork

Get along to the exhibition from 5 – 28 May 2011
