Stand G90, Earl’s Court 2, London, 18-21 September 2008Hidden Art designer-makers have tuned in to sustainable thinking, and utilised new technologies, for the development of new products and prototypes being launched at 100% Design. Everything from recycled aggregate concrete benches and reinvigorated furniture to laser/water-cut fabrics and air-insulated eatingware will be displayed.
Without Hidden Art, a not-for-profit organisation supporting UK designer-makers, this British-based collection would not get the opportunity to launch their work at 100% Design. For more details visit www.hiddenartlondon.co.uk/100percent.

- Gina Pierce – Digitally etched fabrics and leathers in three different designs; Stairway, Layers and History Maps. Utilising the latest in digital technology and inspired by architecture and location.
