Object Abuse is a new exhibition where every day objects have been cleverly modified to change their functions. Participants - including Noma Bar, Max Lamb and Peter Marigold - have re-imagined miscellaneous objects using as little additional material as possible to give them an entirely new purpose. KK outlet, Hoxton Square’s creative space that sits comfortably between being a gallery, bookshop, cafe and agency, introduces the project as part of London Design Festival. For the exhibition, KK Outlet has commissioned leading designers, artists and stylists to rebuild household objects, resulting in bicycle handlebar chandeliers, chessboard coat hooks, a cat flap made from a flat cap, and many more ingenious re-interpretations of mundane objects. The concept highlights the potential of recycling, and aims to show how product design can become more innovative when people step back from their computer screens and start to think with their hands. All the items are on sale, with proceeds going to the St Monica’s of Hackney Primary School Art department.   This is one of many highlight exhibitions that will be taking place during London Design Festival. We're also getting involved with our own show, and have teamed up with Wallpaper* magazine's Editor-at-Large Henrietta Thompson to create an exhibition called Slow-Tech which starts this weekend. Join us for the late night opening next Tuesday 20th September at 18 Hewett Street.
