GENERAL ASSEMBLY
‘GENERAL ASSEMBLY’ WAS TO TEST THE CHOICES OF THE BUYER; MAKE THAT PROCESS A CONSCIOUS ONE. IT IS A NEW TAKE ON PERSONALISING THE MASS- PRODUCED. IT TESTS THE LIMITS OF THE HAND-MADE VS. THE PRODUCTION LINE. LIKE THEIR ACKNOWLEDGED INSPIRATION (BEN KELLY, DESIGNER OF THE INTERIOR OF THE MANCHESTER NIGHTCLUB THE HAÇIENDA, AND GRAPHIC DESIGNER PETER SAVILLE, WHO REDEFINED “INDUSTRIAL CHIC” THROUGH HIS WORK FOR FACTORY RECORDS) ‘GENERAL ASSEMBLY’ WOULD BE A BLEND OF THE INDUSTRIAL AND THE INDIVIDUAL.
