Welcome to Doha!

admin — Thu, 09 Feb 2012 09:19:45 +0000

Haberdasherylondon have pushed the boat out a little bit more, having just returned from a very successful trip to Doha where we installed a new light sculpture “Wisteria” commissioned by Katherine Pooley for a private client. We found Doha absolutely fascinating, especially the new convention centre construction, and the Doha Office Tower by Jean Nouvel (See photos). Doha is quite possibly the youngest city we have ever seen, with 24 hour mega constructions all around you, and large plots of empty land in the city centre just waiting for a new sky-scraper. This is a city working hard to set itself up as a major destination in the Middle East, and we look forward to returning with bigger and bolder works!

Powers of 10 (to the next level)

admin — Thu, 09 Feb 2012 08:24:06 +0000

We saw this on the blogosphere this morning and had to share it. Remember Powers of 10?. Human kind invented the concept of infinity, we even gave it a means of objectification, ∞ , entire fields of maths dedicated to manipulating the infinite sets (Gregor Cantor), Arts dedicated to the concept (Perspectives, Holography , and M.C. Escher to name a few). And our love of infinite reflections in design resonates as we play with this website!

The rise of the machines is now one step closer thanks to the boffins at the University of Pennsylvania, and kMel Robotics

Here at Haberdasherylondon we are deeply in love with this story and looking forward to having a ver good and very long play with these and some lights one day soon!

Our ideas are already springing forward for some amazing and big time artwork featuring these genius contraptions!

STELLA!

admin — Thu, 26 Jan 2012 08:12:01 +0000

We had the distinct pleasure of meeting up with the great people at Stella McCartney. What did we talk about? Vegas Baby! (We’re told that’s the way you have to say it) and we talked about the future. Their offices are furiously busy! It was a true pleasure to see the inner workings of such a respected fashion brand. We look forward to working together.

The Infinite

We’re working on the infinite… it’s both a large and a small job at the same time. And very, very, VERY colourful.

Quantum Locking

All of us here at HAB have been giddy with excitement over this video showing the properties of Quantum Locking. We downed tools for a good hour watching this video and theorising over the physics that define this phenomenon. None of us really came very close to the actual explanation… Watch the WHOLE video, and read on…

Glastonbury Green Peace

admin — Tue, 05 Jul 2011 06:33:52 +0000

Working with Chris Levine Hab worked furiously over the course of about 24 hours to produce a 3.2m tall Chris Levine digital artwork for the GreenPeace field at Glastonbury 2011. Some of us from Hab attended this years epic festival and came back well sun burnt and slightly dazed, both of which we are only now recovering from. We’re not the first to say it, but Glastonbury is like none other. Without a doubt, the greatest music festival on earth!

Photos are being developed, stay tuned.

It’s a unique atmosphere right now at HAB. Everyone is working together to birth 4 new lighting commissions. The design is complete, the parts are in, and each is being built at this very moment in our studio. So far, everything is coming together flawlessly. Stay tuned for some glorious photos of the finished works.
