Free Range Graduate Art & Design Interior Design Show
by Tina M Cheng
The 2009 show is the first time that all Interior Design School have exhibited together under one roof as unified discipline. Student prior to this did have the opportunity of exhibiting at the Business Design Centre in Islington, at the New Designers Exhibition, but were always pushed out the the edge of the building while other disciplines took centre stage.
The show which was piloted in conjunction with Tamsin O’Hanlon who set up Free range at the Truman Brewery and Andrew Stone the Interior Educators President. The exhibition has given the new crop of talent a wonderful platform to work from. We can only image the benefit this will also have on all students still studying that have seen the show and want to better the standard or at least aim to parr with the standard that has been set by their peers.
We have collated some of the students work that piqued our interest are shown here. Free Range Art & Design Summer Show

Folding Plug by RCA Grad Student
by Tina M Cheng
At the Royal College of Art’s 2009 Graduate Show, Korean-born Min-Kyu Choi showcased a surprisingly simple design that electrified the crowds. Choi rearranged the formation of blades on a plug, folding it down to just 10mm wide, no thicker than a Macbook Air. The transformation from flat to functional is a cinch: swivel the two flat blades 90 degrees and fold the plastic flaps forward to create a standard UK plug-face. Accessories were also displayed, including a multi-plug adaptor and a USB device charger. Choi should have no problem launching his career as a Creative Engineer with the radical reinvention of this common household item.
