INHALE is a cultural platform where artists are presented, where great projects are given credit and readers find inspiration. Think about Inhale as if it were a map: we can help you discover which are the must-see events all over the world, what is happening now in the artistic and cultural world as well as guide you through the latest designers’ products. Inhale interconnects domains that you are interested in, so that you will know all the events, places, galleries, studios that are a must-see. We have a 360 degree overview on art and culture and a passion to share.
Take a look at some exemplary contemporary British architecture and design, miniaturized for you and your kids’ enjoyment. Over 20 interpretations by architects and designers like Zaha Hadid are including inCathedral Group’s fund-raising event for KIDS, a UK charity supporting disabled children, young people, and their families. Six of the dollhouses will go to auction at Bonham’s on November 11th, 2013.
The project was inspired by Edwin Lutyens’ 1924 dolls house for Queen Mary. More than 1,500 artists, designers and craftspeople contributed to Lutyen’s 4.5-tonne display, which the venerable architect described as ‘a flagship of endeavour to ease the nation’s woes’. In the same spirit, we have challenged the 20 architects to work with their own artist, designer, and furniture-maker collaborators to make the end products even more special. Gavin Turk and Grayson Perry are two of the artists collaborating with the architects.
Each dolls house – suitable for a 750mm x 750mm plinth – will also include one unique feature to make life easier for a child with a disability. The completed dolls’ houses will go on public display ahead of a fundraising event. Development Securities, Domus, Marley Eternit and Alno are backing the project with the AJ as media partner.
