Last week at the Fuori Salone the most memorable event was designersblock: held at a dilapidated public pool in Milan’s Tortona neighborhood, it featured booths by designers and collectives organized under the London-based design collaborative. One of the exhibitors was KithKin’s “Some Rights Reserved,” a kiosk offering creative commons-licensed digital wares at low low prices in the form of CDs carrying members’ work. I’ll continue to post about them over the week: the projects are quite beautiful. Let’s start with Postler Ferguson’s Graphic Grenade, which Amanda bought for Ale for 7 Euros (it’s only 5 euros on-line). It’s a papercraft grenade that you can make yourself by printing, cutting and gluing the enclosed pdf. It’s licensed under the Creative Commons (by-nd) license.

Hey thanks very much for coming along to the show.
Very glad that you liked Kith Kin’s work.
We think they are the sharpest knives in the drawer right now.
Did yo see them fly pitching on the footbridge to Tortona ?
Cuttin’ Razors each and every one of them.
As always it was a pleasure and a privelage to be showing in Milan again.
Our next big Designersblock show is London in September, same time as 100% design and the London Design Festival. See you there and in Milano next year.
Thanks again
Best regards
Rory
