Our favourite design blog, Dezeen, have just published a very nice article about one of our new kinetic Objects. The comments posted in response are very funny. Have a look here.
Laikingland will be open all this weekend as part of Huddersfield Open Studio Trail, HOST.

In this months edition of idFX Magazine there is an interesting article on sculpture for private gardens that features the work of Ivan Black.
Laikingland have been working with Ivan to develop laminated versions of his beautiful Magnet Mobiles and with perfect timing they will start to appear for sale in our online shop this weekend.
It's very busy over here in Laikingland as we prepare for 100% Design in London.
Here you can see our new team members working away. Samantha Bryan assembling Currant Red Applause Machines with Louise Haley and Jim Bond very delicately brazing the Applause Machine's parts together.
