JJAM is pleased to announce their designer line up for SHELTER at TENT 2011.

The brief to create a ’shelter’ that Tent visitors can explore and interact with, using off-cuts, by-products and discontinued lines from Scottish textiles manufacturer, Bute Fabrics.

Each design will showcase the imagination, innovation and personality of both the designers and the materials they use.

JJAM & Friends will be at Somerset House all weekend, along with a host of other different design stalls and the recession-proof Poundshop who will be providing perfect gifts for Xmas all for a pound! Bring your gifts over to us and we’ll make them even more delectable by wrapping them in style. Alternatively, there’s a range of 8 different card designs to choose from, which you can personalize further with a Christmas message to suit a range of emotions, from the sweet TO MY GORGEOUS CHRISTMAS PUDDING to the silly I WANNA SEE SANTA’S SACK!

JJAM has been shooting photos for the postcard book which will be sold at our show at Tent during London Design Week from the 23rd to the 26th of September. We asked London based designers to reinvent the classic yellow duster and we have got some great results in, big thanks to everybody who took part + thanks for great photos Richard & Kevin! Preview to follow soon …

Registration has now closed.
We have got exactly 100 participants and we’re looking forward to see the results!

Here’s some submission info for those who are taking part.

For your information, we need your actual yellow duster object.
If you have supporting sketches, photos, film etc, feel free to submit it, but note that our intention is only to show the actual objects.

We realised that a big amount of participants live in East London near our offices. We have decided to offer time slots in which you can drop off your designs which might make things easier and cheaper.

Drop off times:

Friday 6th of August between 19:00 and 21:00
Monday 9th of August between 19:00 and 21:00

If you decide to post your object, we should receive the object in our offices by Monday the 9th at the latest. Please make sure to allow for enough time for it to arrive.
JJAM Curators Collective, 302 Northside Studios, 16-29 Andrews Road, London E8 4QF.

All selected objects will become part of the Everyday Delights collection, which will be shown at Tent London and published in a postcard book. The show might tour other venues and will finally be auctioned off in a closing event. Profits will go to a London based charity. You will keep the copyright on your design, but by participating JJAM will get the right to display, photograph and publish your design online as well as in print. It is crucial to get the right information to credit your work. Could you please add a note to your object with the following information:

- Title for your object
- The name with which you would like to be credited (personal name(s) – or – company name – or team name)
- Your website (you don’t have to provide a website, this is optional and up to you)

If you need more dusters to experiment with, you can buy a pack of 10 for a cheap price here:

JJAM curators collective challenges London based designers to reinvent to classic yellow duster in a way that we never imagined before!
