Here is Wieden + Kennedy London’s new window display: GRAPPLE.

It’s big, it’s industrial and it’s by a young artist called James Capper.

James graduated from Chelsea College of Art this summer. He had his first solo exhibition in London this year and we liked his work so much we invited him to do a piece for our agency window on Hanbury Street.

James has a fascination for industrial and construction devices, designing and building interactive machines with a life of their own. And since this year’s window theme is interaction, we thought it would be a good idea to let people try out one of James’s machines.

If you’re passing, feel free to have a go. No hard hat needed.

Grapple grab times: Monday – Friday 6 -7, Saturday – Sunday 10 – 4. It’s a bit noisy for the people whose desks are nearby, so we’ve had to limit hours of operation.

This Is Martin Cole, who we are delighted to be able to say is joining us as Planning Director of Wieden + Kennedy London. He's currently one of the founding partners of Santo London and prior to that he was at WPP, Grey and BBH.
He has produced and presented TV shows for Channel 4 and been a successful recording artist for Virgin. He's an innovative thinker, a brilliant strategist, a good guy and, not insignificantly, he has more hair than the rest of the management team put together.
As well as working out his notice at Santo, he's about to become a dad, so he'll be with us in early December.
