Butcher’s Hook is (or perhaps that should be wil be) a three-member design studio and gallery based in an old butcher’s shop in London’s Portobello. The studio has been formed by Benio Urbanowicz, James Coltman, Josh Blanchett and Dan Jones, students from Kingston and LLC, all of whom graduate this summer.
In order to introduce themselves to the local populace, Butcher’s Hook set up a digital display using an old Nintendo Wii remote, custom made Infa-Red yellow pencils, a wireless doorbell, a printer and a few extra ingredients.
“We gave away free art made by the user themselves, with the option to receive a digital copy sent to them,” they say. “We had a great weekend, where over 150 people got involved, through their own choice… and every single one went home to find our business cards printed on the back of their own masterpiece.”
Amongst the multitude of bike shops across Manhattan and Brooklyn, 718 Cyclery (www.718c.com) stands out for their unique approach to the business.
High-end cycling label Rapha have recruited director and photographer Antony Crook to produce a short film in conjunction with RSA Films. Entitled “Knock for Knock” and set to Mogwai’s track “Drunk and Crazy”, the film focuses on a cyclist’s personal journey and fight against his fears.
