The work on show at the #PeoplesPavilion is incredible – it’s hard to pick a winner! These designs created by young East Londoners in collab w/ @BTB_Consultants & @Poor_collective as part of @LFArchitecture hosted by #HereEast are truly inspiring. Come down and vote 🗳

We’re still holding off reopening the studio to the public but starting this Sunday we’re trying something new: a small weekly outdoor market of books & things for the home/studio. Sundays 10am–4pm right outside our studio doors on Dace Road E3. Hope to see you!

Hi @mayorofhackney. Are there plans to reinstate the old @hackneycouncil plaque marking the invention of plastic (Parkesine) here (E95NN) in 1866? Always loved that it blended in with the wall & was barely legible 3 metres up! stephenliddell.co.uk/2019/05/22/ale… (unless it’s hiding again!)

During our community consultation, one of the requests we heard most often was for more public seating. We've had some help from local furniture designers Ellen Svenningsen + Jutta Goessl to create seating that will be flexible and soften the environment with planting. 🌱⁠
