Future Shelter: London Design Festival

19.9.09

London Design Festival

I think there are enough ex-Londoners in Perth like me to warrant a mention of the London Design Festival that starts today. Luckily I have family in London who can go and have a look for us and see what's happening. Come on Perth - we've had a fashion festival - let's have a design festival!

Who are we?

Future Shelter is a small design and manufacturing workshop based in North Perth. Products are designed and made by a small team comprising of designers, makers and engineers.

The manufacturing workshop is situated behind the store on Angove St and includes equipment for screen printing, laser cutting, cnc and woodworking facilities, industrial sewing, heat presses, a digital ceramic decal printer and a kiln.

The company was established by husband and wife team designer Jane King and mechanical engineer Adam Coffey.
