If you go down to the woods today.....

Announced by Designers Block........

Ladies and Gentlemen we are very happy to introduce Bodging Milano. A special adventure for Fuori Salone 2010.

From 30th March to 5th 10 designers are going back to the furniture, living for a week in the woods of deepest Herefordshire. With the help of Gudrun Leitz and her assistant Paul, each will make a greenwood chair in Gudrun's outdoor workshop. We are all getting out of the studio, away from drawing boards, computer screens, and mechanised equipment into the hands-on world of the original country chair-makers working without electricity with pole lathes, steam benders and hand tools.

The 10 chairs plus a chair of Gudrun's will be exhibited with Designersblock at Spazio Revel, Milan, during the Milan Furniture Fair which takes place 14th - 19th April 2010.

The designers are,

Amos Marchant, Carl Clerkin, Chris Eckersley, Dave Green, Gareth Neal, Gitta Gschwendtner, Matthew Hilton, Rory Dodd, Suzanne Barnes, William Warren.
