From Wikipedia 2035:
The Mice Pyramid One to Ten
Was a series of ten exhibitions in London at the rhythm of one per annum between 2026 and 2035. The initial idea by self appointed organisers åbäke and Rio Kobayashi was to take matters into their own hands and show that nobody had seen before by inviting makers to exhibit what they are not necessarily known for (sculptures by photographers, paintings by graphic designers, dance by painters, glass objects by writers, photography by product designers and so on. Mostly improvised yet seriously produced, the success or failures of the exhibitions varied from the critical reviews of those who have seen and others who didn’t. It seemed however that the participants (a varying number from ten to a hundred depending on the year) grew from a naive but genuine wish to spend a good time with friends while working with as much freedom as possible, renewing old and creating new. The youngest artist was four at the time of making the work and the oldest 87. The idea of « being known for something » was often challenged by the relativity of celebrity culture of that time. It was revealed that the main difficulty arose from a certain idea of freedom.
The first iteration in 2026 involved Angus Mill, Kajsa Ståhl, gemma Holt, Jasper Morrison, Yoko Brown etc.

Huge thanks to make this space available

FUTURE DAYS RADIO⚡️ × ARCHITECTURAL DIGEST⚡️

We’re delighted to share that our latest project for Future Days Radio in Amsterdam is now featured in AD magazine’s October issue, out today on newsstands.

For a room tucked away within Future Days Shop, founded by musician Tomo Katsurada Tomo Katsurada and embroidery artist Eloïse Ptito Eloïse Ptito-Echeverría , we designed a tram-like space, incorporating hand-painted acrylic shapes with marquetry motifs like fruit and fish that reflect the history of the building and its narrow interior, realized in cherry, walnut and oak. Production and fabrication were managed by Onni Aho, with a team based in Helsinki including Liitos.

Future Days Radio will be hosting webcasts and filmed live sessions. Follow them to see their programming: .radio .shop

A big thank you to Architectural Digest for featuring the project in its latest issue.
