BARK Seeks Submissions
Vancouver-based design collective BARK seeks submissions by June 15, 2005, of Canadian-designed products for its All Terrain Cabin (ATC). The project focuses on innovative Canadian products and technology that support the operation of a self-contained, sustainable environment. The 420-square foot, fully outfitted cabin for the 21st century will be mobile, low-impact, smart, tough and all-Canadian. Based on the ISO container format, the ATC can be transported to any place in the world.
Selected products must be delivered to BARK in Vancouver by July 15, 2005, for shipment of the completed ATC to Tokyo in late September 2005.
For more information email John Rodgers at submit@barkbark.ca

The 2005 London 100% Design show has spawned an up-start sibling named 100% East. This professionally curated, organized and promoted alternative environment will provide exposure for experimental and emerging design talent.
100% East is located at the old Truman Brewery on Brick Lane in East End London, an area of revitalised furniture design studios and smaller-scale industries (see VCR issues 15/16 and 22/23).
