Chairfix
Ben Wilson collaborated with a group of artists to create the Chairfix installation. The eco-friendly design is supplied in one piece – all the components simply pop out of the frame and are snapped together.
Artists including Pete Fowler, Will Barras, Luke Wilson and Remi/Rough all customised a chairfix kit that was displayed at the Mens edition of Margin in August 2003.
The customised chairs then went on to exhibit at the Aram store before moving on to Belgium and Tokyo.

Evil Tony Dolls 
Welcome to the world of Evil Tony and friends.
All dolls come from stories and illustrations by Gemma Shiel, the founder of Lazy Oaf. Evil tony himself is a bad sort, a bit of a loner, that is until he did some time at Her Majesties pleasure, where he was able to befriend like-minded people. There is also Cynthia an evil sibling to Henry who collects used envelopes. Clifford is a presentable young man that enjoys biscuits, and there is Rhonda who loves cats and has lots that all live in her flat above the betting shop. Each doll has it’s own story to tell and individual personality. Evil Tony and friends are all lovingly hand printed and stitched in front of Gemma’s favourite television soaps.

Kavel 
Kavel Rafferty’s new work is a modern tongue in cheek look at sexual roles. By fetishising the domestic and mundane, it explores the polarised identities available to women. The viewer feels drawn into a voyeuristic world in which they watch the intimate moments of the subjects unfold before them from a hidden vantage point. This group of eight prints, which use a domestic setting to examine sexual stereotypes, explore the idea that the ideal woman is a cook in the kitchen and a whore in the bedroom.
Kavel’s Graphics will also feature at the new underwear boutique in Top Shop’s Oxford Circus store from September. Kavel is also currently working for Top man, Levi’s, Ted Baker and The Sunday Times.
