(CANCELLED) 9 Hour Factory
Event description
Unfortunately due to the recent updates made surrounding COVID-19, we have decided to unfortunately cancel 9 Hour Factory.
--------------------------
New Model by Dowel Jones in partnership with Kvadrat Maharam and Soft Serve Studio present 9 Hour Factory: a one-day-only live making installation.
Be guided through fabric selection and fitting then watch as your bag or accessory is made before your eyes from remnant and waste Kvadrat Maharam textiles, quality fabrics sourced from world-renowned designers including Raf Simons, Patricia Urquiola, Paul Smith and Nanna Ditzel.
New Model represents a new way of working. Established as an extension of Dowel Jones, New Model is interested primarily in utilising surplus, remnant and waste materials. Wherever ‘New’ or anything green is located refers to it being made from new resources, creating a hyper-transparency.
9 Hour Factory bookings take approximately one hour and include two stages: Consultation
Choose a 1 Hour Bag or accessory, select fabric from a broad range of Kvadrat Maharam textiles, then customise the handle length to suit your needs.
Making
Watch as our team of sewers and cutters construct your bag while you wait; you’ll walk away on the day with your own truly unique piece.
Please note ticket price covers a 50% deposit, payment of the remaining 50% is required upon arrival.
