Back in April 2015 Jocks&Nerds held their first pop-up work studio in Shinola's Soho store, showcasing the talents of designer + apron maker, Nigel Ruwende. The Community of Craft Series proved to be a great success for both British + America brands – spurring on an ongoing partnership between the two companies. Working closing with local creatives to help showcase their talents to a wider audience only highlights the importance of thinking smaller to create bigger.
Now, a few months on, the Community of Craft series revisits Ruwende in his own London-based studio. This short video explores the design processes which goes into making products for his label Saint&Birchley, how he made the switch from personal styling to craft, and how his uncle had such a profound influence on his career path.

Such a cool post and the video is ace. Really enjoy the way you approach things from a design/aesthetics point of view; I haven't got that eye so it's great to see life a different way!

Glad you enjoyed it. It's great to see people making things happen.
ReplyDeleteIt really it. I love seeing it all up close and hearing about the influences.
ReplyDeleteIt's great to see isn't it, you don't get to see behind the scenes that much on very small businesses. Cheers Ben, I appreciate that. I guess it's a part of something I just always look for, where others choose othe aspects.
