When we stopped by KOIBIRD, the dreamy concept store at 62 Marylebone Lane, London, earlier this year, it truly felt like stepping into an alternate world. From today, gradient lilac, pink, and acid green walls, sheeny pois tiled floors, quirky curation of clothing, accessories, and collectibles, and Space Age-inspired decor won't be the only elements to allow the shop to absorb you in a dimension of its own.
In his just-released home collection for KOIBIRD, London-based emerging designer and maker James Shaw looks to redeem plastic, one of the most polluting materials of our century, reworking it into a series of functional objects, including a lamp, candlestick holders, a candelabra, two mirrors, a set of bookends, a planter, a pepper and salt grinder, and a kitchen roll holder, that's as colorful and quirky as it is amusing.
