<p>The doorbell works by running current through the metallic strips of the stained glass window. A standard battery powered bell unit is screwed to the back of the door. Couples, once they have learnt the trick, can ring our doorbell by both touching the door and then kissing. The circuit is made and the bell rings.</p>
<p>Also visible in the photos are Jasia&#8217;s space invader curtains which she made herself.</p>

<p>&#8216;The long sentence by which we learn various crossings across brown waters&#8217; is a mnemonic sentence I conceived to help learn the road bridges across the Thames.</p>
<p>If you can manage to generate a better graphic to communicate this piece of information then I&#8217;d love to see it. I don&#8217;t think these ones are very good.</p>

<p>It was developed for a competition to design a water jug for London to encourage people to value and drink more tap water rather than continually buying bottled water. It is London by its language, character and connection to old Gin jugs.</p>

<p>This glass jug produces a distinctive glugging sound when water is poured from it. The image does not do the design justice, as its charm is experiential.</p>
<p>It was developed for a competition to design a water jug for London to encourage people to value and drink more tap water rather than continually buying bottled water. It is London by its language, character and connection to old Gin jugs.</p>
<p>The ‘Glug Jug’ is a traditional artefact, most commonly a ceramic fish and often seen advertising London gin. It gurgles because the hollow handle noisily fills with air as the jug is tilted and poured. A phenomena that can be felt as well as heard.</p>
<p>The design of the jug has been developed with three criteria: to achieve the glug, to be practical and cleanable and to suit the manufacture of 10,000 pieces.</p>
<p>The shape derives from its production process. A hand blown bubble is crushed to form a handle by an articulated mould that closes to present a shaped cavity to control the remaining blown bubble. The lip is finished by hand. Designed 2008 but sadly never produced for sale.</p>

<p>A series of ten ceramic tiles with applied decoration that can be used to create text and signage by their various combinations. The aim was to to keep the number of different decorated tiles to a minimum so that manufacturing might become cheaper and stock in retail outlets easier to manage.</p>
<p>The tiles were developed in 2008.</p>

<p>The house that I grew up in had a fantastic grandfather clock that chimed the hour. A sound full of charm that marked time through the day.  This collection of old alarm clocks have been wired together and their led readouts messed around with. The fancy electrics is a ‘chocolate box daisy chain’. The clock reads a fairy-tale message twice a day, which will only be witnessed occasionally. Stripping the clocks of their original function makes the one moment in the day when the readout makes sense&#8230;</p>]]></description>

<p>The house that I grew up in had a fantastic grandfather clock that chimed the hour. A sound full of charm that marked time through the day.  This collection of old alarm clocks have been wired together and their led readouts messed around with. The fancy electrics is a ‘chocolate box daisy chain’. The clock reads a fairy-tale message twice a day, which will only be witnessed occasionally. Stripping the clocks of their original function makes the one moment in the day when the readout makes sense more significant.The clock is an experiment to express the pleasure of noticing when something nice but not very important happens.</p>
<p>Once a day the clock reads Supercalifragilisticespialidocious.</p>
<p>The clock was made for the exhibition &#8216;Them Indoors&#8217; at the Geffrye Museum.</p>

<p>An important aspect of the home is that it doesn’t exist only in the present. A sense of home comes from how long we have been at a place and how long we plan to stay.</p>
<p>This is a child’s cupboard with a twelve-year lifespan, which aims to become a sentimental belonging. The child creates a visual diary over the course of their growing up, which will continue to be seen and enjoyed when the locker has grown beyond it.

<p>An important aspect of the home is that it doesn’t exist only in the present. A sense of home comes from how long we have been at a place and how long we plan to stay.</p>
<p>This is a child’s cupboard with a twelve-year lifespan, which aims to become a sentimental belonging. The child creates a visual diary over the course of their growing up, which will continue to be seen and enjoyed when the locker has grown beyond it. Every year the locker is moved up the backboard to the child&#8217;s height, which exposes a fresh section of white board inside the locker. The child will then naturally customise the inside of their locker until the time comes for it to move back up.</p>
<p>I plan to give my daughter Tilly the locker when she has finished growing and using it. I&#8217;ll get to keep her 12 year artwork.</p>
<p>Sentimental attachment is the holly grail of emotional focused design. I strive to achieve different ways that users might more strongly connect with objects through narrative, function, humor and assosiation, but these devices will never form a bond as strong as personal sentimentality. This is why I have tried to include the potential for new products to become sentimental through use.</p>
