SHOREDITCH DESIGN TRIANGLE 2011

The Shoreditch Design Triangle is one of the many local hubs around London which form part of the London Design Festival 2011 (15-25 September 2011). Over 30 shops, galleries and spaces in Shoreditch are participating in this exciting event which will showcase the strength and diversity of the Shoreditch design community.

On Tuesday 20th September most Shoreditch locations will be staying open late and hosting an array of special launches, parties and workshops. All the
venues are within easy walking distance around the Shoreditch Triangle
so head East and make a night of it.

At MAIDEN we are proud to present a series of six brand new and exclusive light switch stickers designed by Henrietta Swift. We've stocked Henrietta's light switch stickers since MAIDEN opened in 2009; customers have always been delighted by the way such a simple and well executed idea completely brings the ordinarily dull light switch to life.

The Light Up Your Mood stickers are normally available in either Boys, Girls or Animal packs (You can buy them on our online shop or in store at MAIDEN) , but for London Design Week Henrietta has literally gone "wild" and created a special series of endangered species sticker sets. Now you can turn to light switches into a giant panda, a Red Eyed Tree-Frog or even a Siberian Tiger! There is also an African Elephant, a Green Cheeked Parrot and an Amur Leopard! Why not buy the entire series and turn your home into a veritable safari park/paradise!


Each pack will contain the sticker kit to make one of the following animals...
(Each sticker pack will cost £4)

Red Eyed Tree-Frog




Green Cheeked Parrot




Siberian Tiger



Amur Leopard




Giant Panda




African Elephant




Alongside the limited edition endangered species stickers we will also be displaying all of the faces that can be made from the standard sticker packs.

COLOUR ME GOOD AT MAIDEN

COLOUR ME GOOD
14 JULY TO END OF AUGUST AT MAIDEN!!!


MAIDEN continues its mission to bring fun, creative products to life by hosting an interactive display of the fantastic range of COLOUR ME GOOD colouring-in books by I LOVE MEL.

The downstairs space at Maiden will be transformed into a brightly coloured “colouring-in cave” where visitors can sit and colour in pages from Mel’s fabulous books.

Although all the COLOUR ME GOOD titles will be featured, there will be a particular focus on the newest book in the series, ‘80s, which features a delightfully daft selection of icons and images from 1980s pop culture just begging for a felt tip pen to get to grips with them. Timmy Mallet, Bob “I’ll have a P please” Holness , Molly Ringwold, Dusty Bin, Orville, Charles and Di… all the favourites from the decade are there.
Mel will also be creating a magnificent 1980s shop window featuring work from her ‘80s book alongside a selection of the original items that inspired it.




ABOUT I LOVE MEL

I Love Mel started out life as a few badges that were made and handed out to make Mel Simone Elliott feel better after her boyfriend dumped her.

On Graduating from the Royal College of Art in 2007, Mel began designing fun, printed products such as colouring books and paper dolls and I Love Mel became less of a badge and more of a brand. Mel is originally from Barnsley in Yorkshire and now lives with her husband and three children in Northamptonshire.

The COLOUR ME GOOD series began in 2009 with Colour Me Good 'Kate Moss' and now also includes the titles Fashion, Art, Record Sleeves and London (with a Colour Me Good '90s on the way!)

Alongside the COLOUR ME GOOD books Mel also publishes a series of delightful PAPER DOLLS books featuring Debbie Harry, Kate Moss and Lady Gaga.
