wieden + kennedy plot jewellery in ES magazine

ES Magazine 27 November - whole page

Today's ES magazine (the mag for the London Evening Standard) features our Plot jewellery.

Lisa Prince, one of our strategists, sat in many meetings
staring at data. Sometimes her mind would wander. She started to notice
that by squinting a little the data began to transform into something
quite beautiful. Proof that interesting ideas can arise, even in boring meetings.

When strategist Lisa met art director, Nicholla, x met y and they
had the idea to transform data into beautiful pieces of wearable art.

PLOT pulls together a collaborative creative team of strategist,
writer, graphic designer, art director and jeweller. The Jewellery
Plot, the first collection of art pieces, is an elegant range of
hand-crafted necklaces. You can buy the jewellery range at Luna & Curious, Beyond the Valley or at our own on-line store Thisisplot.com.

The perfect Christmas gift for the planner, data analyst or commodities trader in your life.

Andy and Stu

Andy Kay (above left) and Stu Harkness have fun with Dutch snacks.

In honour of Stu's (Stu is CD on Nike at W+K London) visit to Amsterdam, Andy (ex of W+KLondon, now working on Coke at W_+K Amsterdam) dug out his best
t-shirt and made sure that it was enjoyed with some of Amsterdam's
finest 'Bitterballenen'.

Described on Wikipedia as Bitterballen (plural
of 'bitterbal') [are] a savoury Dutch meat-based snack, typically
containing a mixture of beef (minced or chopped), beef broth, flour and
butter for thickening, parsley, salt and pepper. Or as we Brits know them, a
spherical minced beef Findus crispy pancake.
