Welcome to Optimism

Our Clio haul

Honda's The Other Side picked up even more gold last night. This time for Branded Entertainment, Digital and Digital Technique / Sound Design at the 2015 Clio Awards in New York. Plus a silver for Film Technique / Sounds Design. Not bad at all. 
 
Enough? No. There was more. A silver and two bronze for our 'Freestyle' campaign for Lurpak; a silver for Honda's 'Feeling' for Film Technique for Sound Design; a bronze for Finish's 'Dishes' in the 30-60 second commercials category; Nice. 
 
Kudos to all our lovely people who worked so hard on these campaigns – and a big congratulations to our clients and production partners. Come on, the awards look like Oscars, indulge us in a little acceptance speech, won't you…?

Make Some Noise

Looking out from W+K Towers today it's pretty dreary, drizzly and dark. But looking in? Well there's plenty of light radiating from our W+K window… Today we launch our latest installation in collaboration with the annual London Design Festival: we're hosting local designer Anna Burns' interior textile collection.

The festival kicked off over the weekend promoting our capital’s creativity. We're proud to sit within the designated 'Shoreditch Design Triangle' – one of the many 'Design Districts' set up all over London hosting a series of events easily accessible by foot. Local Art Director Anna Burns felt like a perfect partner for us and we're incredibly proud to showcase and support her work.

Anna Burns Object is an interiors brand specialising in textiles and home accessories and this, ‘Occhio Di Marmo’ is her first textile collection.

Inspiration comes from cult Italian movie thrillers from the 60s and 70s. The geometric prints reference old movie sets and include jewel-coloured textures taken from various resources.

But it's not just pretty to look at! The interactive installation invites passers-by to control how much noise goes on inside the topsy turvy room. By activating the textile on the pavement outside W+K, you can open different doors around the 'room', each with different levels of sound.

The London Design Festival runs until 27 September so if you're passing, come make some noise.
